I have an external server running IMAP over SSL that my clients connect to for e-mail. Unfortunately, since we switched the server over to using SSL it has shown up as a false positive in my error logs. Is there a configuration change that I can make on the SonicWall or the mail server that would get these events out of my log? It is becoming almost impossible to check for actual problems when my log is full of these false positives.

I'm using a Pro2040.
 
If you look under the log categories you can uncheck certain types of alerts and such.
 
I want to know when someone is doing a port scan on my box, though, so I don't want to turn those off completely. Is there a way to white-list the server's address instead?
