SurfControl icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

address.

for your own organization.

object. Click Insert in the Message Body text box and select any of the following:

Specific File Types to specify which file types you want to send notifications on. Click the button and
select the file type from the dialog box.
Note: You can also use these variables in the Subject line, to enable the recipient to discover
why a web page is being blocked, without having to inspect the entire body of the message.
