ReadyNAS 314 Email Alerts
Hello All,
I have been successfully receiving email alerts for years for any critical events from my NAS.
After reviewing the logs I see that all these events are in the log, however I am no longer receiving the emails referencing the alert. I checked all the setting and it's indicated that the "Email service to send alerts is configured properly". I press send message and the test alert comes through to the proper email designated in the Alert contacts, but no alerts coming through when they are presented?
Any insight as to why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using gmail, then the "less secure apps" setting was deprecated a couple months ago. You need to
- set up 2-factor authentication on the main account
- create an app-specific password for the NAS.

Well that's the thing, I specifically am not using gmail for that reason. The thing that's baffling is the test messages all go through ok, but not the alerts!

FWIW, yahoo mail works (with an app-specific password), and of course you can send the alerts to a gmail account.
Are you seeing any errors in the log zip file?
Though you likely have already checked - did you look in the spam filter?

Re: ReadyNAS 314 Email Alerts
This just doesn't make any sense to me since I'm receiving the test emails through the service provider with no problem.
I used to get these alerts when I installed new apps, disk defragmentation, disk failures all of those type of things and they are currently in the log file. It's like these events are not triggering the alert to be emailed.

Hi StephenB,
yes I downloaded and look through those logs and it has all of the test messages listed in the log indicating "mail accepted for delivery". However these are all the test events from when I was re configuring the email.
There are no events listed triggered by the system for any other alerts the way it was previously prior from me noticing that I was not getting any notifications

Double check that all the alert types are checked in the top of the alerts section in system->settings.
If they are, then try rebooting the NAS.

Yes they are all checked, I just unchecked them all and rechecked them, thinking it might reset something.
I have had two of the 4 original disks fail on me the last two years while traveling. I had a friend come over and replace them while I was away. I just awaiting the other two original disks left in the system to fail before long.
