ReadyNas 214 - Email Alerts not being sent after updating to version 6.10.3

I just upgraded my ReadyNAS 214 to version 6.10.3 from version 6.10.2 without any errors.  I am now getting error in log stating 

 

Mar 19, 2020 04:17:53 PM
 
System: Alert message failed to send.

 

Alert message worked before but believe it was broken in 6.10.2 because I did not get an automated email alert that 6.10.3 was available.

 

Error Message:

 

"Cannot send a test message.  CHeck authentication settings.  Code: 5008010001"

 

This is not specific to my local NAS as I am getting the same error on my remote NAS.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Terry

    What mail service are you using?  Is it possible that they changed their security in some way?

      Thanks very much for responding...

       

      It is my same Gmail account that did work before.  I just tried updating the alert information using my Me.com address and got the same error so it appears this error is independent of the email address environment.

        gmail is working for me with 6.10.3.

         

        Has anything changed with your internet connection?  Any rough idea on when it stopped working?
