Legacy interface terminology

This article preserves the SmartCentre/SmartDashboard workflow from the original knowledge base. Menu names can differ on later Check Point management releases.

2. Enable Send mail alert to SmartView Status.
3. Enable Run mail alert script.
4. Enter the internal mail command.

Command syntax:

For multiple recipients, separate each email address with a space.
