Email addy req'd to install v5.3.5?

It means send the email using the internal SMTP server built into the DUO, instead of using an external SMTP server. Either way an email is sent (though it might be blocked by your email host if you use the internal server).

StephenB,
Thank you. I sorta understand this, but, remain confused between the DUO's Internal SMTP server, and/or, an External (?) SMTP server. Clearly my bad. In any case, even this does not solve my issue with the 'alerts' logic I can NOT disable on my new DUO-V2 using f/w 5.3.5.

You also mention 'email host.' Again confusion!
Any email 'alert' my DUO-V2 might send, via Internal or External, must go out of my home via my router to my ISP for process back to my Inbox; unless I have missed something. I do not operate a home mail server. And, I see little advantage to muck with Mozilla/Thunderbird 13.0.1 to create a special 'Inbox' for any future DUO 'alert' emails. Besides, even to allow this DUO Alert logic to work, I still have to enter my very personal email credentials into Dashboard to even work. Perhaps other NG users do not have a security issue with this. I do! Let's agree this business in just my own privacy issue.

Therefore this DUO-V2 will show up in the forum Marketplace in due time. I may move to a pair of Ultra 2's, or, some other vendor. I will raise my original {alerts] issue in the RAIDiator 4.2.21 (x86) area after I spend some research time reading 'x86' related issues/concerns...........

I will, first, reset my DUO-V2 yet again and try to get it to a level that it operates only as a "backup" target for my DUO-V1. I believe I am tired of fighting with the DUO-V2's 'Dashboard' logic also. No harm, no foul!
