RE: [FW1] Sending mail alerts via NT mgmt station

["Scott Murray" <scotty_1970@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

> From a DOS prompt on the NT mgmt station I tried entering:

sendmail -s Alert -t ..xxx.xxx mymail@internet.com

and this just hung.  Afterwards I appended "< alert.txt" to the end of the 
above syntax and it worked, but when I add that complete syntax to the Log 
and Alert tab of the properties window within Firewall-1 rulebase, it does 
not work.
