ReadyNAS 102 sending to 64.233.167.109

Then try opening the firewall and provisioning a DNS server in the NAS, and see if the emails come through. If they do, then lock it down again.
Thanks for your help.
I've tried that, and I have deleted the email config in the ReadyNas and its still trying to send something. One of my ReadyNas's is sending to what looks like a Google address and the other has a destination of 8.8.8.8.
For the moment I have changed both ReadyNas to static IP and a non-existent DNS server to stop the flood of denial messages coming from the firewall.

8.8.8.8 is google's public DNS server. Many people do add a DNS entry for that in their NAS network configuration, but AFAIK it is never applied automatically.
You could try the brute-force approach and do a factory reset (reconfiguring the NAS and restoring all the data from backups)
Thanks for your help but I think it’s time to give up and leave the config as a non-existent DNS server. At least the router firewall log isn’t overwhelmed anymore.
