Alert email messages won't send
Greetings, I had a (brief) mains power failure on my ReadyNAS 626X running 6.10.8, since then no status emails have been sent. Can't say I'm impressed with my UPS, but that is another matter... ...

Yes, msmtp.log for one.
If you use gmail, there were some policy changes there a couple of months ago. Google deprecated the "less secure apps" option, so you need to switch to an app-specific password. They will require you to enable two-factor-authentication if you do this.
Just to add a another recover option:
I have a recent "everything" configuration backup, but I have made a couple of changes to shares/permissions since then.
Is it possible just to extract the email alerts section from the configuration zip file and just restore that? (Assuming that would correct the issue)
