3Enter the address of your mail server in the SMTP mail server text box. This information can be obtained from the E-mail Notification tab in the Web Filter Service Settings dialog box. Right-click the SurfControl icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

4Enter the e-mail address of the person you want to receive the notification in the Recipient text box. If you want to send the message to multiple recipients, make sure there is a space between each e-mail address.

5In the From text box, you can either leave the default address in this field, or enter a suitable address for your own organization.

6Enter a relevant subject for your e-mail object in the Subject text box.

7The object comes with pre-defined data that you can include in the construction of your notification object. Click Insert in the Message Body text box and select any of the following:

–User

–Workstation

–Site

–Category

–Protocol

–Time

–Rule Number

–Page

Note: You can also use these variables in the Subject line, to enable the recipient to discover why a web page is being blocked, without having to inspect the entire body of the message.

8By default, the notification object is only triggered if the base Web page is blocked. Click Notify on Specific File Types to specify which file types you want to send notifications on. Click the button and select the file type from the dialog box.
