So let=E2=80=99s go through this step by = step=E2=80=A6 First of all, is the companion daemon running? It is a process called = suricata-reporter. If so, can you check if the configuration file has emails enabled? It is = in /var/ipfire/suricata/reporter.conf. And finally, can you run =E2=80=9Cmailq=E2=80=9D to see if the emails = have been sent and maybe have bounced? -Michael > On 29 Sep 2025, at 13:58, Adolf Belka wrote: >=20 > Forgot to mention, I pressed the test button on the Mail Service WUI = page and immediately received the test mail message. >=20 > I use a mail server I have running on my local network. >=20 > Regards, >=20 > Adolf. >=20 >=20 > On 29/09/2025 14:52, Adolf Belka wrote: >> Hi All, >> I just ran the update for CU198 Testing on my vm systems. >> 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.
