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

I did not have any problems but I am sending to my own mail server.

If you are going to a public server make sure that the authentication info is correct and the sender e-mail is legitimate user account and domain. Is your ISP blocking port 25 to servers that are not theirs?

Mail sending using DNS-323 is just pickier than using Outlook, just file a support request to D-Link! DSM-G600 did have same problem but they did fix it in the latest firmware.

The weird thing is that I use outlook with the same smtp server and it works just fine.  That's why I don't think it is blocking anything.

Hello Yerbie:
     What firmware are you using now??? Did you try the 1.02 ??? I have no problem with the smtp issue by using the 1.02 firmware.

I am using 1.02 and just tried it again and now it seems to work again.  The odd thing is that I didn't change anything on the settings, but just hit test again and it worked.  Thanks for everyone's help!

Well, since Gmail doesn't use SMTP on port 25, but rather SMTP-with-TLS on port 587, it's not that strange that the DNS-323 doesn't work with Gmail

hmm well fwiw, gmail's SMTP server is not working for me with 1.02. my isp's SMTP server works fine.

I have the issue also with the emails not working. I have been back and forth with D-Link about that and the Anonymous FTP read access (corrected in 1.02b) problem... This is the lateset that I got from D-Link by email only minutes ago.....

Yes we have has some issues with the email being able to work in Raid 1 What hard drive models are you using? We have release FW 1.02b that has fixed some of this we are also releasing 1.3 very soon which I was told has fixed these issues.

Perhaps your system clock is drifting? see http://dns323.kood.org/howto:reduce_clock_drift

This wouldn't account for the 59 min emails working, but it would let you know if your system clock keeps accurate time.

I didn't have to do anything too unusual or open more ports to get the email notifications to work.  I'm using a POP3 mail method currently and the only special setup is by authentication (Account log-in with password, etc in the Tools -> Email Alerts page).  As for the Anonymous setting there, it also works fine via my ISP's mail sender since I'm already on the same "local" network.  However, the Anonymous method does not work with my two other outside POP3 mail senders - these are account based, require a password (authentication),... and then both will happily work.  Also I think the Setup -> LAN page in the DNS-323 must have the correct/valid Gateway, DNS1 and DNS2 numbers for this send mail to function.  If I remember correctly, it says Fail when I hit the Test button, but this DNS-323 box actually sends the emails out just fine for the various events/interval.

OK, so get THIS... I tried fooling around with the mail settings again, and after re-entering ALL of the info on the page 3 times, it FINALLY works the third time... before I manually typed it all with ONE FINGER, I put all the stuff into notepad, and copy & pasted it into BOTH my router & NAS, and the router was fine, NAS wasn't.... NOW all of a sudden it works, WHAT GIVES?!? lol.
