ReadyNAS 314 Email Alerts
Hello All,
I have been successfully receiving email alerts for years for any critical events from my NAS.
After reviewing the logs I see that all these events are in the log, however I am no longer receiving the emails referencing the alert. I checked all the setting and it's indicated that the "Email service to send alerts is configured properly". I press send message and the test alert comes through to the proper email designated in the Alert contacts, but no alerts coming through when they are presented?
Any insight as to why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using gmail, then the "less secure apps" setting was deprecated a couple months ago. You need to
- set up 2-factor authentication on the main account
- create an app-specific password for the NAS.
Well that's the thing, I specifically am not using gmail for that reason. The thing that's baffling is the test messages all go through ok, but not the alerts!

FWIW, yahoo mail works (with an app-specific password), and of course you can send the alerts to a gmail account.
Are you seeing any errors in the log zip file?
Though you likely have already checked - did you look in the spam filter?
