We use dashboard to manage multiple Checkpoint/Nokia Firewall-1 firewalls. I want to enable email alerts (via global properties). I DO NOT have the implied rule enabled permitting the firewall to talk to anything it wants. My questions are:

1. Do I create a rule permitting the 'Firewall Manager' to talk to our Mail server?
2. As the rule is for the Firewall Manager, do I need to put this rule in each Firewall policy? Or is there a separate policy for the firewall manager?

Thanks
