The update itself went fine without any error messages or hiccups. I then went to test the IPS emailing of alerts. I used the same sender and recipient email addresses as I have specified on the Mail Service WUI page. I set the alert severity to All, Including Informational Alerts. I then followed the suricata testing process as defined in https://docs.suricata.io/en/suricata-8.0.1/quickstart.html#alerting and I ended up with alerts in the IPS-Logs but no email message received. I checked the System logs for the mail system and there was no message trying to be sent. I ran the test 7 times, so ended up with 7 messages in the IPS-Logs. I then checked the IPS system Logs and there was no mention of detecting the alerts and trying to send an email. I ran the command tail -f /var/log/messages so I could see any additional log entries when I triggered the IPS alerts but again nothing was shown when I triggered the alerts, although the messages did end up in the IPS Logs section. Regards, Adolf.
