Check Point SmartCente can be configured to send alerts via SMTP. In order to do this you need to configure the internal_sendmail function using specified arguments. It does not require a mail server or client to be installed on the SmartCenter server.

In SmartDashboard:

  1. Select 'Global Properties > Log and Alert > Alert Commands'.
  2. Check 'Send mail alert to SmartView Status'.
  3. Check 'Run mail alert script'.
  4. Enter the following script into the area proided:
    internal_sendmail [-s <subject>] [-t <mail-server>] [-f <from email address>] <recipient-1> <recipient-2> ...
  5. In the Rule Base, define a rule that will generate an alert. In the Track field, enter 'Mail'.
  6. Install the Security Policy.

For multiple email addresses, you can seperate each email address with a space.
