To use mail alerts on a Windows-based management console (remember that alerts are always executed from the management, not the firewalls), the commands you should execute for mail is:

%FWDIR%\bin\sendmail -s Alert -t smtp-server-ip -f [you@yours.com] {address@domain.com}

An explanation of the options for sendmail.exe:
  • -s provides a "subject" for the message. If this is more than one word, put the subject in quotes.
  • -t specifies the SMTP server IP address.
  • -f specifies the From address for the mail (Replace [you@yours.com] with that)
  • {address@domain.com} is the email address you wish to forward to

I have failed to get this to work. Also do I enter this in the command line as well as the dashboard?

Any help is much appreciated!
