I get a huge amount of e-mail notifications such as the ones below on a daily basis:
I've already changed the /etc/csf/csf.conf to be:

LF_EMAIL_ALERT = "0"
LF_TEMP_EMAIL_ALERT = "0"
CT_EMAIL_ALERT = "0"

PS_EMAIL_ALERT = "1"
LF_SSH_EMAIL_ALERT = "1" - But it says 'Send an email alert if anyone logs in successfully using SSH

The comment on 'LF_SSH_EMAIL_ALERT' says that this e-mail is sent if someone logs into SSH successfully (which I would want), but the e-mail alerts are coming through when they have failed to login and therefore being blocked.

Any ideas on why I am getting these e-mails despite the settings I have above ?

Thanks in advance

I am also getting the same error as you said, i dont know how to fix that like you (

+1 Came here looking for a solution. I'm trying to disable perm block emails, but I keep getting them anyway.

If you are using cPanel the work around is very easy:

1. Enter into webmail of the account that you are receiving the emails.
2. Create a Filter.
3. Name the filter as you want.
4. On the first line select SUBJECT CONTAINS and write the subject of that email.
5. ADD a second line (be careful not to select OR) and select BODY CONTAINS and write:
Failures: 3 (sshd)
6. To finish select DELETE and save.

You will never get those emails in your inbox.

Same here. I've been fighting these notifications for weeks now. They continually come to my inbox.

Suspicious process running - added "/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/sbin/php-fpm" to /etc/csf/csf.pignore then restart csf & lfd
Still get notifications

Excessive processes running - added PT_USERMEM = "0" & PT_USERTIME = "0" to /etc/csf/csf.conf then restart csf & lfd
Still get notifications

SSH login alert for user
I get two emails exactly the same every time I login.

I know its good to have notifications about server issues, but this is overkill to the point that googling about these alert settings only finds people trying to disable them.
