Problem with sending email alerts
I logged onto my ReadyNAS Duo the other day to discover that there were a long list of alerts waiting for me. I investigated in System->Alerts and found the settings all correct but emails are not get...
Since there is no response yet and my guesses are that many a newby on this subject will run into the same problem I contribute the following:
Having met an equivalent problem (bounces for the non ISP domain mail accounts) I realised, that may be my ISP, through which usually all SMTP messages will flow, is blocking the relay of messages when unidentified by them.
I wanted to use three mail accounts:
1. MyName@MyISP.com
2. MyName@gmail.com
3. MyName@MyWebHosting.com
Since I used three different domains the SMTP service at MyISP.com will not allow me (anti-SPAM measure) to relay the messages to gmail.com and MyWebHosting.com
The solution for me was to properly set the field EMail Provider in the ReadyNAS System/Alert page.
In order to overcome this issue, I used neither the 'Internal' nor the 'Custom' function but the 'GMAIL' function. Doing so I use Google's mailing service to relay the alerts to the other two domains.
