I tried gmail, but as there is no option to specify port, I gave up on that.
I set up a another account from another provider and that's not working.
Try a free account on outlook.com.
I wanted to be clear that this is the issue of the modem sending out the Alert/Logs as e-mail, not me using an e-mail client on my phone or laptop.
Within the modem/router e-mail setup, I have tried to put my gmail settings (which require SSL, and the modem doesn't have port/SSL settings area), and also used my personal hosting service's e-mail account (ionos.com) both don't work.
While your point of the ISP (Comcast/Xfinity) blocking SMTP and other ports out going out kind of make sense, I have posted a question to them.
IF they do block it, would all my e-mail clients (laptops, phones) have a problem (although not sure which ones use SMTP out) ?
