However, if you stop the filter-hub or the MTA service, these alerts cannot be
sent. To ensure that you continue receiving alerts, it is useful to establish and
maintain an alternate MTA; you can specify its IP address in the settings for the
Control Center. For more information, refer to the Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP Administration Guide.
