For Example, you may want WebUp to email yourself, your client and your web administrator. • WebUp will send one email (per address) per failed web site per failing, i.e. when a web site fails an email is sent to the email address specified, if another check detects that the web site is still off-line no email is sent, however if the web site becomes available again and then fails an email will be sent to mark the sporadic functionality of the site. Also, if you have selected verification emails from the options an email is sent when a site is on-line after a failing.
