This default server is only available to registered devices with an active FortiCare support contract. The reply-to field in the source email is automatically updated to DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com for all servers, including custom ones. Configure the sender address for alert emails. config alertemail setting     set username "DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com"   --> If using default SMTP server. end Configure report schedule in Log & Report -> Local Reports -> Report Schedule.   If the email is not received, troubleshooting will be based on Troubleshooting Tip: Email alert Run the alertmail debug: diagnose debug reset diagnose debug disable diagnose debug console timestamp enable diagnose debug application alertmail -1 diagnose debug enable In Log & Report -> Local Reports -> Generate Now.
