      I see that you can enable email notifications under System –> Advanced --> Notifications, but what do you get notified on? Is there a list somewhere of the notifications it will send out? Right now I am interested in a gateway failure in a multi-WAN setup so that we know when one of the internet connections has failed, but it would be nice to know what other notifications options are available as well.

        Pretty much anything but blocks in the firewall. I think you can have those sent also, but I don't and its off by default (that or it cannot be done ;)).

          After you set your mail server up in System –> Advanced --> Notifications, where do you set what notification get sent? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

              I'm not certain but I think you need the mailreport package. I looked into it briefly, but it didn't work for what I needed so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for or not.

                According to this post I just found the alerts are not configurable. The developers have hard coded certain things to notify on and once you configure your SMTP server you will start receiving those alerts.
