E-Mail notifications

Dennis Haschke

Hello,
i configure the E-Mail notification like in this article:
https://docs.sophos.com/esg/enterprise-console/5-5/help/de-de/esg/Enterprise-Console/tasks/alerts_02_email.html

If i create a test alert (with eicar) no email is generated.
If i put the client IP on my Exchange to the Relay Connector then it works.
But i don't wont to put all IP's in it because of security aspect.

Is it possible to configure the Clients without relaying?

Regards
Dennis

    Hello Dennis,

    as the endpoints are sending these emails they need an SMTP server that will accept and forward the messages (how else could they be able to send them?)

    Thats the answer from Sophos:

    wenn sie die Antivirus- und HIPS-E-Mail-Benachrichtigung konfigurieren schicken nur die Endpoint Clients die Mails ( z.B. bei einer Erkennung).

    Mean that i need an open relay….
    I thought the SEC Server receive the mails and send it to the Mailserver.

    Hello Dennis,

    the SEC Server receive the mails
    no, the SEC server receives the alerts and events (but does not forward them as emails). The functionality is from a time when SEC (central management) did not yet exist. Please note that you get an email for all detections - whether properly dealt with or not. Thus in most cases there's nothing to do in response to these emails (other than deleting or archiving the email [;)]).
