AiProtection emails / Logs

[icornish]

Good morning all,

I know AiProtection etc is all closed source, but in my syslog this morning I found this...
Dec 31 08:41:21 alert mail: AiProtection send mail

However, there is nothing above it in the log to corroborate this, and I cant seem to see any log to back this up. I've never set up an email address for the aiProtection emails, as I don't know why it needs my email password...

If you had set up email alerts by entering your email password into AIProtectiion, you would have received an email to say AIProtection had prevented your accessing potententially malicious content, although it doesn't exactly say that. In fact, the wording of the email is not very informative at all and the standard of English doesn't help either. (I've mentioned it to Asus.)

It needs your email password because effectively you are alerting yourself by email that AIProtection kicked in. Otherwise, Asus would have to set up its own email servers to alert you, I guess. (Or you'd need to keep checking your log, except thete's not much info in there either!)
