Re: SS4200-E and email notifications

IT'S WORKING!

Ok. Here is what I did to get my SS4200-E sending emails. This may not be the only way, but this is what worked for me. There is no need to have an email server running on your network and relay emails out from the server to the internet. The server can do it all by its self.

1. I turned off the automatic network settings mode and put in all of my IP and DNS settings. I got the appropriate settings by going to my command line on my computer and running ipconfig /all.

2. I set up a new email account with my ISP, Cox.

3. In the email notifications area of the server, I entered in all of the important email information for my new email account in the additional information area.

4. That's it.

I was unable to use Gmail, or any other email account in the begining for the account. The only email account that worked for me was the new Cox email account. It must have something to do with Cox I guess.

In any event, I hope this helps someone else.

Ok. I've set a static IP address on my SS4200-E. I also configured the rest of the settings manually to match other PCs on my network. No luck yet witht the email.

When I ping mail.authsmtp.com I get 62.13.128.194. A bit different than what you get, but I'm getting that same IP address from two different computers. One inside the problem network with the server and another machine at a my work location. So I'm not too concerned with the difference. Only connection between these two computers is my internet service provider: Cox.

I'd be happy to set up a SMTP server on my network to test. Is there a simple, free one out there?

No luck so far. Keep checking this thread. I'll post if I do get it to work.

I've now tried using 3 different email systems that I have access to instead of using GMail. None work for the notifications.

The software version for my server is:

Software Version:1.1.11.32736

BIOS Version:V090L

Here is some info I got from Intel Support:

The emails will be delivered through the strategy below:
If a relay SMTP server is configured, emails will be sent out by using this relay server.
If no relay SMTP server is available, emails will be sent out by using MX records.
At last, if no MX records are found, emails will be tried to be sent out by directly using the domain name in the destination. For example, the destination is xxx@yyy.com, we will try to use “yyy.com” to send the emails.

Hi Edward,

Yes. That is exactly what I am doing and the settings look correct to me. I've attached two screen shots. 1 for the network settings page of the server and the second shot is my command line ipconfig /all shot from my laptop. As you can see the important settings are identical.

Edward,

This may sound like a pretty stupid question, but how did you get your server to send notifications to your gmail account? I did this and it won't work. Do you have an email server working somewhere on your internal network? I had emailed Intel Tech support and they have told me that with out an internal email server running on your internal lan, the server will not send email out to an email address outside your local lan.

Thanks again for the help.

I can ping mail.authsmtp.com without any problem. I currently have my server network settings to be automatically generated by the server. I can access the server just fine from other computers using it's IP address. I have my gmail email address in the Destination Email Address spot on the server, but I still do not receive any kind of notifications when I ask for it via the tick box, or even when I remove a hard drive to simulate a failure.

To me this is a very important feature that I need. The server will be located in an area of our office that we do not walk past everyday to check the status lights.

This didn't work for me. Question: what is the email address that the server device sends from? Question: is there any other configuration that needs to be done when I'm behind a router? I wonder if this is what is not working. I entered my gmail email address as you suggested and said 'ok'. The server then said my message was being sent, but I never got it. Not in spam either.
