Hello,

ossec can "always" use email notification.If you do not receive emails but you did enable them while installing have a look at

tail /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log (Linux servers) also make sure the user that's running ossec-maild has permission to send emails (eg your firewall)

ps aux | grep ossec <<-- this will tell you which user

you can confgure ossec to use a gmail account http://www.ossec.net/wiki/Tweaking_OSSEC
