14.5. Configuring E-mail Notifications

BitDefender Management Server can notify you through e-mail about important issues affecting the network security. The e-mail notifications may help you block threats to the network security in a timely manner.

If you configure e-mail notifications, BitDefender Management Server will check for the selected security issues regularly, based on the configured checking interval. If new security issues have occurred since the last check, you will receive an e-mail regarding the status of each issue. For example, if the checking interval is set to 1 hour, every hour you will receive e-mail alerts about the issues that occurred during the past hour. Alerts regarding the registration status (trial or expired) are sent only once a day.
