Description of my issue:

Nicholas - ADT is working very hard (and well) thank you!

How difficult would it be to introduce some granularity in the outgoing emails for WAF events? I'd really like to get emailed on some but not others - particularly GEO block. A YES/NO toggle for some, if not all, events would be fantastic!

As ever - extremely grateful for ADT and AKB.

Adam.

Hello Adam,

Um, GeoIP Blocking emails were removed in version 2.4.1. If you are still getting emails your System - Admin Tools plugin has not been updated. In this case remove the folder plugins/system/admintools and install Admin Tools again (without uninstalling the component first).

Regarding the feature request, no, I will not add such a feature. It makes the logging function notoriously slow and burdens the user with dozens of mind-numbing options.

Thanks, Nicholas - I understand about the extra load etc. No problem.

As to my updates - I've always been keen to keep my ADT installs up-to-date and usually install within hours of receiving notification(s). I'll do what you suggested - thanks. I did wonder why I was getting so many but only from certain sites.

Thanks for the super-fast response, too! :-))

Regards,

Adam.

EDIT: Update. The Geo-block thing is down to me. I have two sites that clients refuse to upgrade (!!!). They're both still on Joomla 1.5 (where the latest ADT I can use is 2.2.10) ... so that's why I'm getting them from those two sites - and not from others. Another one of life's mysteries explained!!!

Mystery solved! I always love it when we get to find the solution to be something as simple as a client not wishing to update ;)

Heh ... heh. I'd love it even more if they PAID me to do an update! Thankfully I have some good clients *as well* :-)
