Select "Add".
In the Email Server Profile, enter the name of the profile.
Select "Add".
In the "Servers" tab, enter the required information:

In the "Email Display Name" field, enter the name shown in the From field of the email.
In the "From" field, enter the From email address.
In the "To" field, enter the email address of the recipient.
In the "Additional Recipient" field, enter the email address of another recipient. Only one additional recipient can be added. To add multiple recipients, add the email address of a distribution list.
In the "Gateway" field, enter the IP address or host name of the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) server used to send the email.
Select the "OK" button.

Configure a Log Forwarding Profile:
Go to Objects >> Log Forwarding
Go to Policies >> Security
Select "Add" to create a new security policy or select the name of the security policy to edit it.
Configure the specific parameters of the policy by completing the required information in the fields of each tab.
In the "Actions" tab, select the Log forwarding profile and select "Log at Session End". "Log at Session Start" may be selected under specific circumstances, but "Log at Session End" is preferred.
