or VPN events or violations. After you set up the email addresses, you can test the

Adding alert email addresses
Because the FortiGate unit uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server,
it must be able to look up this name on your DNS server. Therefore, before configuring
alert email ensure that you have configured at least one DNS server.
To add a DNS server
1 Go to System > Network > DNS .
2 If they have not already been added, add the primary and secondary DNS server
addresses provided to you by your ISP.
3 Select Apply.
Destination IP Address
Destination Netmask Type the destination IP address and netmask for which you want the
FortiGate unit to log traffic messages. The address can be an
individual computer, subnetwork, or network.
Service Select the service group or individual service for which you want the
FortiGate unit to log traffic messages.
