Configuring alert email
You can configure the FortiGate unit to send alert email to up to three email addresses
when there are virus incidents, block incidents, network intrusions, and other firewall
or VPN events or violations. After you set up the email addresses, you can test the
settings by sending test email.

alert email, make sure that you configure at least one DNS server.
