Mail Alert settings? was created by screamingpict
Hi,
I've been struggling with Mail Alert settings.
I can't seem to get it to work at all. I suspect that the problem is that Draytek do not support SSL/TLS connections to SMTP servers and only support the 'Login' authentication method.
Does anyone have a good workaround for this? Should I try to find a lightweight SMTP server that doesn't require authentication for local connections?

In the grand tradition of answering one's own posts on these forums...
I found an SMTP server that does not require (indeed does not support) SSL/TLS
So... if anyone's trying to get their Draytek to send them email, use O2's server.
You only need to have an account with them- but that doesn't mean paying them money- I'm pretty sure you can just register. I have an old account from when I used to have an O2 mobile.
SMTP Server: mail.o2.co.uk
SMTP Port: 25
User Name:account_name@o2.co.uk (i.e. the whole email address, not just the account name)
Password: account password
HTH. HAND. etc.
