Can't set up smtp for eMail notifications
Moin, ich versuche in meinem Orbi System die emails Settings einzustellen. Ich habe einen email account bei all-inkl. Leider klappt es nicht da der MAilserver als Fehler (504 5.5.2 <mail-user@RBR40...
Roamabout thanks for your answer. No, seems the devloper did it different, as the documentation guys specified. I used the email-adress of the smtp I used. the sender is still "smtp_user@RBR40". In my case the I have to login to my mail account with a different user as the name in front for the @ in my email adress. So my email-user is something like abc4711 and my email adress is leif@domain.de. Maybe that is the reason. Easy solution for the netgear devs add a field in the UI for the sender adress ;-)
It works for me when I log into my email server using a user different from the email recipient.
However, the email comes through as being sent from "root@RBR50", which is not a valid email address. There's no valid domain included.
Looks like your problem is that the email server you are using is set to reject emails without a valid sender email address. This is commonly done to reduce SPAM.
You can either use another email server that does not require a valid sender address or wait for NETGEAR to change Orbi to allow you to set a valid return address.
While they are updating the system to allow user specified From address perhaps they could also add SSL and TLS support so we are not sending creds over clear text. Even my decade old crappy web cams support secure smtp authentication.
Ok, I found a solution. I enabled the telnet service (http://RouterIP.htm) and found a script. that creates the email in /etc/email. I'm not an expert in shell scripting, but I figure out, that there a attributes defined for the sender adress, which will used when another attribute is set to 1...
So I just have to type follwoing commands:
config set email_assign=1
config set email_this_addr=myemail@mydomain.de
There seems also some line of codes that ensure using TLS e.g. for special provider.
Now it works fine. Never the less I'm still looking for some settings that enables a more complete logging.
Thanks for all your support,

Good job. Just keep track of any changes you made via telnet as these have a habit of getting reset back to the defaults during a firmware update.
