    Hello Guys, I had the same problem in FortiOS 5.0.7. However via CLI you can test the email server with the following command: # diagnose log alertmail test and then check your email. I hope it be helpful Greetings. Jav.

    I searched for this feature, too, and couldn' t locate anything. I am not sure why it was removed. Under " Send alert email for the following" under Log & Report, I selected " Administrator login/logout" so I could force a log message.

    You can test the SMTP alert email by using the cli 

     

    #cli

    " diagnose log alertmail test"

     

    just do a packet sniffer on the interface that's expected for the mail relay.

     

    diag sniffer packet wan1 "host yoursmtp.gateway.com"

     

    NOTE: place address of yoursmtp.gateway.com
