  7. Configure the flat file channel.
    Make sure that "Disabled" is unchecked and the operator being used is "Or" not "AND".  The two event ids you will use is "Log - SMTP Message Failure" and "Log - SMTP Message Sent".

  8. Go into services and restart the log server service for the changes to take effect.

Now as email notification events appear in the default SQL channel, they will also appear in the flat file channel.

    Some of the drop-down menus are different in V 10, but the applicaiton is still intuitive enough to navigate these instructions. Very helpful!
