 Hi Nicholas, I just configured WAF with the option to allow administrator acces only to IPs in Whitelist. I added the IP-addresses of all trusted locations to the backend to the Administrator IP Whitelist.
When a user/administrator logs in via the backend from one of the whitelisted locations, i still receive an e-mail that there was a succesful login. I am not interested in succesful logins from these whitelisted addresses because users are logging in on the backend many times a day to administer a webshop. I tried to disable the adminloginsucces e-mail template but then i receive a security exception e-mail...
Can you advise me how to configure admin tools in a way that I do not receive e-mails from succesful logins from whitelisted ip addresses?

Regards, Benny.

IPs can be spoofed (relatively easily). Therefore you don't want to be able to disable those emails for whitelisted IPs. That's the entire point of this feature: make sure that you expected the successful login. If not, someone has hacked your site.
