You can have email alerts sent immediately when someone attempts to visit a blocked site
and you can specify that logs are sent automatically.
If you select the Weekly, Daily, or Hourly option and the log fills up before the specified
period, the log is automatically emailed to the specified email address. After the log is
sent, the log is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot email the log file,

contents.
