I sorta understand this, but, remain confused between the DUO's Internal SMTP server, and/or, an External (?) SMTP server.

Here is an explanation that may help: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mai ... email3.htm.

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...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.

Correct. Using the internal SMTP server in the Duo v2 does not resolve your concerns. My reply was not meaning to persuade you otherwise; I fully expected that you would reach the conclusion it would not work for you. I only was trying to explain what the internal feature was.

Although the idea someone posted earlier of using a deliberately bad email address might possibly work, especially if your router also lets you block the SMTP service for the NAS IP address.
