18.3 Relay SMTP server
WinRoute provides a function which enables notification to users or/and administrators by
email alerts. These alert messages can be sent upon various events, for example when a virus
is detected (see chapter 13.3 ), when a Peer-to-Peer network is detected (refer to chapter 17.1 ),
when an alert function is set for certain events (details in chapter 15.1 ) or upon reception of
an alert (see chapter 19.3 ).

Note: WinRoute does not provided any built-in SMTP server.
To configure an SMTP server, go to the SMTP server tab in Configuration
