Other settings can also be used for reference in recipient’s mail client or for email classification. This is why it is always recommended to specify sender’s email address in Kerio Control. Connection test Click Test to test functionality of sending of email via the specified SMTP server. Kerio Control sends a testing email message to the specified email address. Warning: 1. If SMTP is specified by a DNS name, it cannot be used until Kerio Control resolves a corresponding IP address (by a DNS query). The IP address of specified SMTP server cannot be resolved warning message is displayed in the SMTP Relay tab until the IP address is not found. If the warning is still displayed, this implies that an invalid (non-existent) DNS name is specified or the DNS server does not respond. If the warning on the SMTP server tab is still displayed, it means that an invalid DNS name was specified or that an error occurred in the communication (DNS server is not responding). Therefore, we recommend you to specify SMTP server by an IP address if possible. 2. Communication with the SMTP server must not be blocked by any rule, otherwise the Connection to SMTP server is blocked by traffic rules error is reported upon clicking the Apply button. For detailed information about traffic rules, refer to chapter 7. 250

Chapter 19 Status Information Kerio Control activities can be well monitored by the administrator (or by other users with appropriate rights). There are three types of information — status monitoring, statistics and logs. • Communication of each computer, users connected or all connections using Kerio Control can be monitored. Note: 1. Kerio Control monitors only traffic between the local network and the Internet. The traffic within the local network is not monitored. 2. Only traffic allowed by traffic rules (see chapter 7) can be viewed. If a traffic attempt which should have been denied is detected, the rules are not well defined. • Statistics provide information on users and network traffic for a certain time period. Statistics are viewed in the form of charts and tables. For details see chapter 20. • Logs are files where information about certain activity is reported (e.g. error or warning reports, debug information etc.). Each item is represented by one row starting with a timestamp (date and time of the event). Events reported are in English only (they are generated by the Kerio Control Engine). For details, refer to chapter 22. The following chapters describe what information can be viewed and how its viewing can be changed to accommodate the user’s needs. 19.1 Active hosts and connected users In Status → Active Hosts, the hosts within the local network or active users using Kerio Control for communication with the Internet will be displayed. Note: For more details about the firewall user’s logon, see chapter 11.1. Look at the upper window to view information on individual hosts, connected users, data size/speed, etc. The following information can be found in the Active Hosts window: Hostname DNS name of a host. In case that no corresponding DNS record is found, IP address is displayed instead. 251
