DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

I have been using the DNS-323 for more than a year now. I fiddled around with the e-mail notification until I gave up the battle - exhausted. I never could get e-mail notification to work despite the help provided on this board and my own tinkering.

Yesterday, while accessing my e-mail account from my mobile handset, up pops a message from my DNS-323 providing notification of remaining disk capacity, etc. The notices are coming every 8 hours now, just as I had last configured the DNS-323.

Clearly, something has changed - but what?

- I have been running V1.04 since posted availability (quite a while now).
- I have made no changes to the DNS-323. I haven't even accessed the administration pages for a couple of months.
- My network environment hasn't changed (same old D-Link DIR-655 router/switch) - no config changes.
- I haven't changed e-mail accounts or settings.
- I am certain that alerts have not been going to a junk mail folder. Previous attempts to send test notifications always failed.

Go figure.

You left out one obvious possibility - something on your ISP's email server may have been changed - assuming of course that you're not running your own email server

Are you running you own email server? If you are then you
can check the logs to see if there is any information there.

If you using another email server, that service provider may
have changed email software or spam filters that allowed the
notification to succeed.

Good catch. In the absence of any other 'smoking gun', I'll bet you are right. Some change made by my ISP may be the reason the notifications are now coming through. I wish I knew what that might be as perhaps it would provide a more specific trouble shooting process for others who are having problems with e-mail notification.

My mail is hosted by Network Solutions and associated with my URL (also registered with Network Solutions). I don't plan on trying to work backwards to determine what they may have changed. The problem is, though, that things that fix themselves are prone to breaking themselves. I'll enjoy the benefit of the notifications for as long as they last...
