        Has this ever worked?

        How have you configured it?

        More info required to solve this.

                How to update the vendors list? It should pull the list automatically as I understand it. Do you see error logs?

                  Just installed aprwatch package.

                  Settings used :
                  6a2513ff-1864-4fd3-9651-57e24d546982-image.png

                  Had to stop it an hour later : my (self hosted) mail box received hundreds of mails from arpwatch.

                  This means :
                  My Sys > Adv > Notifications has been set up correctly ;)
                  "arpwatch" sends mail using the pfSense mail notational system .... and it does as advertised.

                  Btw : take note of the warning :

                  43769840-23e6-4917-b4ec-e65cbf94cfe7-image.png

                  I know what 'gmail' might do when you bombard it with pretty identical mails (from the same IP). It will do what it should do : it will discard and block them ....
                  Upfront, you should white list (make the sender mail a contact, etc).
                  gmail is nice to be sued as a things-go-bad-notifier, but do not spam them.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??
