    “Option: Email when firewall blocks a page access – with option to specify recipient.
    Option: Email throttling. If you get hit by a bot you wont get 1000s of email… you can throttle how many emails are sent.”

    in the firewall section it says “When a visitor is blocked the firewall will send an email to the configured email address
    Use with caution – if you get hit by automated bots you may send out too many emails and you could get blocked by your host”

    my question is: if there is email throttling so you don’t get 1000s of emails, why does it say “use with caution in case you get hit by automated bots?

    If your email is throttled and no emails are sent, then no emails are sent. This can be a problem. There is no distinction between email you want, and emails you don’t want.

    yes, but it says email throttling is an option. I thought there was some option in there to set.

    This option was removed in an earlier release
