I have made NO changes to the security exceptions on any of the email templates. Under Logging & Reporting, I have removed all email addresses from "Email this address on security exceptions". I have my email in both login logging, whether failed or success.

However, I am still receiving security exceptions emails 'other' than login:

We would like to notify you that the IP address 185.79.115.147 is now blocked from accessing your site, Webbering DDH - Website Design | Website Development | Website Hosting | SEO Optimization, with the following details:

IP Address: 185.79.115.147 (IP Lookup: IP Lookup)
Reason: Auto-banned IP address
Banned until: 2020-01-14 07:39:14


So does the template settings override the configuration settings? If not, then why am I still receiving security exceptions emails from this website? If the template settings override the configuration settings, then why?

This is not a security exception. This is very clearly the automatic IP blocking (ipautoban) email template. Go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Auto-ban and look into “Email this address after an automatic IP ban”. Your email address is in there.

Nicholas,

Thanks. I have removed my email from that location. I will check other client websites to remove it. While it's not that many, I really seen no need to get an email when AdminTools is properly doing it's job. LOL
