Unable to contact SMTP Host ReadyNas NV
Starting to get really frustrated that I can't get SMTP working on my ReadyNAS NV. It was working earlier this year and then just stopped. I am using a gmail account and like I said, it was working...
There are some TLS security patches in 4.1.15-T3, so perhaps gmail isn't accepting your TLS connection because it is seeing vulnerabilities. So maybe try the T3 beta (you can downgrade with no problems).
Are you using a static IP address in the NAS?
I'm running 4.1.15-T3 with gmail.
Two-factor authentication is off, and allow less secure apps is on.
alert contact 1 is my gmail address.
email provider is set to gmail.
user is my gmail account (gmail address w/o @gmail.com
password is my google password.
advanced options:
smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
smtp port: 587
from: is the same as user.
"use tls" is checked.
Thank you Stephen for your quick reply. That is PRECISELY how I have it set up as well, so that leads me to think it is an internet connectivity issue or something with 4.1.14? Any thoughts as to what might be causing my problem?
TIA.

I'll try 4.1.15-T3. Yes, I'm using a static IP. Thanks for your help!
