Trying to get email notifications from my NAS device.
I have been trying for several days now to get the email notifications working on my NAS LinkStation LS220DE but with no luck. The response from "Send Test Email" is always "Because of an error, the following process did not complete：Sending test email notification". I have tried every combination of settings that seems remotely plausible on the LinkStation settings. On the router I have tried to remove any obstacle: The firewall has been disabled, port forwarding been allowed for any plausible ports and even the DMZ enabled for the Linkstation address. None of these has changed the "Because of an error, Blah, Blah, Blah." My IP address does not appear on any blacklist. I have checked that the app password for gmail is good by using a Windows command:- curl -v smtps://smtp.gmail.com -u MMMMMMM@gmail.com:PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP Replacing MM... and PPP... with my username and password. This gave the result * Connection #0 to host smtp.gmail.com left intact showing that the username and app password were O.K. I have tried my Office365 email account with the same result. Neither the LinkStation nor my Router have any form of syslog. The Linkstation does not produce any kind or error code, and I can't afford a fiber-optic packet sniffer, so I am at a bit of a loss. I have contacted my ISP (Virgin Media) but got only what long experiance has led me to expect: Wasted hours and wasted phone calls with people who do not know what a NAS is, who defaulted to thinking I was talking about a mobile phone, and who repeatedly tried to get me to take out a more expensive subscription. Additional info:- NAS Buffalo LinkStation LS220DE, firmware Version 1.84-0.01. Nas Navigator Version 3.0.4 HDs, 2 off Seagate IronWolf 2GB USB drive, Seagate Barracuda 2GB Router, Virgin Media Hub 2.0 Thanks for any assistance you can give. Mike Simpson
