Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes, the docs outlining configuring the WAF
Joomla! version: (2.5.14)
PHP version: (5.3)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (own server)
Admin Tools version: (2.5.8)

Description of my issue:


IN WAF configuration, I have double-checked to ensure that there is NO email address in any of the 'notify security exceptions' email fields.

However, the admin is receiving the ATOOLS_LBL_WAF_AUTOIPBLOCKEMAIL email "We would like to notify you that the IP address .... is now blocked etc." with Subject line "Automatic IP blocking notification for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Where can I turn off this notification please? thanks! I was sure it was in the WAF configuration...

Hello Seaghan,

did you blank Email this address after an automatic IP ban, too?

Si,

There are 4 fields which mention email on the WAF configuration.
I checked each of these 4 were blank.
I can't find any other place which would send these emails.
thanks for your efforts ...

It may be that another administrator did something to enable these emails and did not realise it.
So if this is the only place to enable the emails - then I will be happy if someone can confirm this?

thanks!

If you blank out all the 4 fields, you shouldn't receive any email.
