Q: How do I get snort to e-mail me alerts? A: Log to
syslog and use swatch 
or logcheck.

See FAQ 5.9 for why doing computationally expensive
things in the logging 
chain of snort creates security holes. (It is about
invoking processes in 
the log chain, but I suspect doing a SMTP client in
the log chain is pretty 
bad too, for the very same reasons.)

Hi there!

I would like to enable sending mail if there is
alert
on my email address.

How will I be able to configure this option to the
snort.conf.

Thanks in advance.
