ReadyNAS 104 - weird issue - repeating email notifications
This box has been running fine for ... I don't even know how long.... the power on hours for the three oldest drives appears to have rolled after maybe 65k hours and now show 16k... so 9 years? It's ...
I did just notice something interesting... I went to check to see if there are any firmware updates (it's running 6.10.10) and got the message "Cannot connect. Communications Error.
Netgear took down the update server some months ago. All ReadyNAS products are now end of life, and Netgear clearly has exited the storage business.
Every 10 minutes since, like clockwork, I've received a successfully completed backup job email. I think the only thing I've changed was to add a second email address to the notification as I was moving off gmail to protonmail. I've tried running the backup manually to see if that would clear something out. I've removed the second email address from the notifications. I've rebooted the box. I've even deleted the backup job completely, but the message keeps being resent. And it keeps being sent to the new email address also which is no longer in the notifications configuration
I suggest removing email notifications altogether, and then see if the emails stop.
If they do, then try re-adding the address.
