DOSEmailNotify you@yourdomain.com
DOSSystemCommand "/etc/apf/apf -d %s'"
DOSLogDir "/var/log/mod_evasive"

and no email is recieved with that email

| Posted by Sileep Kumar M S, 03-31-2010, 05:20 AM | | Please make sure that /bin/mail is installed, if not install it using 'yum install mailx'. Regarding the log file, change the ownership to apache user and try again.

| Posted by bvsonline, 04-30-2010, 01:21 AM | | mod_evasive also supports the following three advanced directives:
DOSEmailNotify
DOSSystemCommand
DOSLogDir
The DOSEmailNotify is certain useful, where you can set mod_evasive to send a notification email whenever a possible DOS attack is detected and blocked. For example, “DOSEmailNotify root” will send the email to root user. But note that mailer configuration (by default is “/bin/mail -t %s”) in mod_evasive.c or mod_evasive20.c is correct.
