Test mail fails. Bug?
From the server I can send mail using Popfile to our internal SMTP server using our internal domain:
16:37 CONNECT : Looking up host name smtp.cactus.dom...
16:37 CONNECT : Host name smtp.cactus.dom found
16:37 CONNECT : Connecting to host smtp.cactus.dom (192.168.1.xxx)...
16:37 CONNECT : Connected to host smtp.cactus.dom (192.168.1.xxx)
16:37 SMTP REPLY: 220 timbuktu.cactus.dom Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 8.5.9600.16384 ready at Tue, 18 Nov 2014 16:37:32 +0100
16:37 SMTP SEND : HELO smtp.cactus.dom
16:37 SMTP REPLY: 250 timbuktu.cactus.dom Hello [192.168.1.zzz]
16:37 SMTP SEND : MAIL FROM:

16:37 SMTP REPLY: 250 2.6.0 Queued mail for delivery
16:37 SMTP SEND : QUIT
16:37 DISCONNECT: Disconnected from server
However, no matter what I set up in DM alert, I just receive the "Failed to send the e-mail notification".
Is this a bug?
Gmail has 2 security settings. I recently had to allow "less secure" in Gmail to continue using windows LiveMail and others in the ATIH 2016 forums have had similar issues with automated email notifications of backup tasks because of one or both of these settings. You may want to try one, or the other, or both and see if it brings you success.
