 * Hi am receiving this email notification.
 * Post Update
 * Notification:
    Wp_log (private to published); identifier: 2490 : Creating Contact
   Succeeded
 * What does this mean. I have received it about 3 times each with a different number
   and when I am not online. Can you tell me what this notification means? Also 
   is it possible for these messaged to be delayed meaning they are sent after I
   am done working on the site.
 * Thanks!

 * These messages are generated by the Sucuri plugin when it detects a modification
   in the meta data of a post or page, in this case one with _“ID#2490”_. The first
   part has the name of the _“Post-Type”_ [1], the second part between parenthesis
   has a short description of the action performed, the third part is the identifier
   of the entry in the database, and the last part has the title of the post.
 * Many plugins out there, specially the ones that offer custom forms or e-commerce
   systems, create custom post-types to differentiate the content generated by them
   among the other posts stored in the _“wp\_posts”_ table which WordPress uses 
   to store _“almost”_ everything that is not related with users, meta data, or 
   settings.
 * I searched for some minutes the plugin that created that custom post-type _“WP\
   _log”_ and could not find one that matches the string because this post-type 
   is too ambiguous. You probably know better than me what plugins are installed
   in your site and can assume which of those is the one that created this post-
   type.
 * I do not know what _“Creating Contact Succeeded”_ means, that is the title that
   the other plugin used when the post was created, the words suggest that the information
   of a contact form was collected successfully, but I may be wrong.
 * Regarding the functionality to delay the security alerts, that is not implemented,
   and I do not really know how to do that since WordPress is the one that controls
   the scheduled tasks, it would be easier if this mechanism was decoupled from 
   the core libraries but that is another story.
 * I can offer you two alternatives, one is to disable the alerts for this specific
   post-type _“WP\_log”_ you can do that from the _“Ignore Alerts”_ panel located
   in the plugin’ settings page. Or whitelist your IP address from the _“Trust IP”_
   panel located in the same settings page, this will force the plugin to not send
   the alerts if the events are triggered from the trusted IP addresses.
 * Let me know if you need more information.
