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.

Might be worth upgrading to 6.6.0 and then retesting. You can't downgrade, which is a consideration.
