What are the authentication setting requirements used by email alerts?
I get the "Unable to send a test message. Cannot send a test message. Please check authentication settings". I can set up my server settings to match the authentication setting required by ReadyNAS....
If anyone else has a dummy mail system and need to setup the itty gritty, program it to use AUTH LOGIN as the authentication method.

It's your email provider that requires the authentication, not the NAS. The NAS uses whatever you entered.
Are you using a mainstream provider (gmail, etc)?
No, I am using a internal barebone email system that does not require login authentication via port 25.
We use AUTH PLAIN as the initial setup but it asks to check the TLS setting.
There is also AUTH LOGIN, CRAM_MD5 and other options available to use in regards to authentication.
