We have been using your remarkable product for many years for all our Joomla sites.

We noticed the following issue: In form Web Application Firewall->Configure WAF->Logging&Reporting in the fileds

  • Email this address on blocked request
  • Email this address on successful backend login
  • Email this address on failed administrator login

we try to record more than one valid 1 email address, which are separated by a comma, for example: [email protected][email protected]

When we try to save the new settings, we get an error message: 

The email address you entered is invalid. Please enter another email address.
There were errors trying to save the Web Application Firewall's configuration.

Everything is OK if only 1 notification address is set in the listed fields.

The same problem exists with version Admin Tools 7.5.4 for Joomla. In older versions it worked fine with setup of more than 1 email address, we don't know exactly in which of the new versions this problem appeared.

Hello,

this issue happens because Joomla double checks that those fields do actually contain a valid email address. Adding a comma makes them invalid at Joomla's eye.

We will try to report this to Joomla and see if there's anything that can be done. For the moment, the only solution is to use only one email address.

Dear colleague,
Thank you for the quick response!
Apparently we'll have to wait for the Joomla team's response/solution.
