E-Mail notifications

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

  • 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 [;)]).
