Mark,

The GNAT Box has an implicit rule that says everthing that is not
explicitly allow is denied.  Since the default logging action is to log
everything that is rejected, scans show up in the log.  But email alarms
are different, you need to explicitly set them.

To do this add a remote access filter at the very end of the filter set.
It should be a deny all like this:

My email alarm filter
Deny ANY ALL action:email
from: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
to: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

You can modify this one to only address packets arriving on the EXT nic or
even narrow it to a single IP address on the EXT nic if you have aliases.


In version 2.2 (yes is will be out soon) alarms are much more flexible and
offer much greater control.


Paul
