iCloud settings for e-mail notifications?
What iCloud settings do I use to enable Alert e-mail messages to be sent by my ReadyNAS NV+?
Here are my current settings, which do not work.
SMTP server: smtp.me.com
SMTP port: 587
From: myname@mac.com

This is what I get:
Failed to contact SMTP server. - sphardy1ApprenticeAre your DNS settings correct? If you have SSH access can you ping the mail server from the NAS?

I believe the server will not respond to ping. But "ping smtp.mail.me.com" should find and display the IP address. The actual pings will time out.sphardy wrote: Are your DNS settings correct? If you have SSH access can you ping the mail server from the NAS?
