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

    Check the log msmtp.log for more clues. I presume that file is included if you download logs, else you can find it via SSH at:

    /var/log/frontview/msmtp.log


    This is what I get:
    Failed to contact SMTP server.
  • Are 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.
