Hello,

I installed Admin Tools a few days ago and I got a lot of emails with title "Security exception".

I looked into Web Application Firewall (WAF), and every where else (configuration-settings...), but I don't find the way to limit these emails.

How can I stop to get these emails (or limit the numbers)?

Thank you :-)

First go to Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Email Templates. Each email template has Frequency limit options.

Then go to Components, Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF. Click on Logging and Reporting. Make sure “Enable blocked requests email throttling” is set to Yes.
