18.3 Relay SMTP server

WinRoute provides a function which enables notiﬁcation to users or/and administrators by

email alerts. These alert messages can be sent upon various events, for example when a virus

is detected (see chapter 13.3), when a Peer-to-Peer network is detected (refer to chapter 17.1),

when an alert function is set for certain events (details in chapter 15.1) or upon reception of

an alert (see chapter 19.4).

For this purpose, WinRoute needs an SMTP Relay Server. This server is used for forwarding of

infected messages to a speciﬁed address.

Note: WinRoute does not provided any built-in SMTP server.

To conﬁgure an SMTPserver, go to the SMTP server tab in Conﬁguration →Advanced Options.
