    Hi all, I setup csf, LF_ALERT_TO in csf.conf, to email to one of my gmail address, but I am not receiving any alert email from CSF, such as SSH login alert.

    I am also using the same gmail address for disk alert and I received disk alert email fine.

    Is there something that I missed?

    Thank you in advance.

    Spam/junk inbox is the first thing I checked, but I don't see any csf alert email.

    I was reading about csf yesterday and found out that it has email alerts features for more than just ssh login, such as ip blocked. This is how I realized csf email is not working for me.

    I think I found the problem, my ip is in the csf.ignore.
    But I don't remember adding my ip to the ignore list.
    Is this a feature of CMM?

    yes initial centmin mod install auto adds ssh logged in user's IP to CSF firewall whitelisting to ensure you don't get locked out :)

    Make sense now, I just have to test csf alert with a different IP.

    Thanks eva
