With this release I notice a few changes to the email alerts section. We can now add multiple recipients which is great for us.
Sadly a problem has now been created - When you setup an account provider the ReadyNAS is insisting on having something in the 'User' box - it says 'user name cannot be emtpy'. The SMTP servers that we use require anonymous authentication as they authenticate by the site IP address so the 'User' and 'Password' box must be blank.
Can this please be fixed - we have a lot of clients with ReadyNAS's that use anonymous SMTP relay.
What is also funny, if I put in a "<space>" for the user, and modify /etc/msmtprc and set "auth off" in the file, then I get two emails when testing alerting. The first one is an email, from the alerting system, saying that the alerting cannot send email, and the second, sent in the same second, is the actual alert test email.
Perhaps you need to clear your browser cache, or do a force reload. I just tried it again, using the exact same settings from your screenshot, and it didn't force me to input a username.
Yes, after clearing the browser cache it now works!
Thanks for your help.

Hi StormUK,
I have noticed that in my case the "from" address is getting populated with my own mail account instead of the "readynas" account. Do you have the same problem? Or is yours behaving correctly?
Note that, in my case, /etc/msmtprc is correctly filled out, just the values that are in that file are not being shown in the UI.
Yeah, I can replace the address with the correct one, but when I go back into the configuration screen, it shows me the wrong value again. It shows the "to" address instead of the "from" addressin the "from" address field.
