Kguard DVR SMTP Problems

Hi 

I am having issues with the SMTP email alert settings when i moved over to plusnet it stopped working and i got told by a friend that plusnet blocks smtp connections unless i use plusnet smtp server but i dont know how to set one up

someone please help me 

 


Current settings
SSL off 
SMTP Port: 587
SMTP SERVER: smtp.plus.net
SENDER EMAIL [Removed]
CANT GIVE PASSWORD
CANT GIVE RECEIVER EMAIL 
but i can confirm both password and receiver email are correct 

 

I keep getting unknown error or remote smtp server connection time-out! 

 

i dunno what else to do 
Thanks

Re: Kguard DVR SMTP Problems

We don't block third party SMTP connections and your settings look OK. If you configure an email client like Outlook/Thunderbird to use these settings then does it work? I assume the DVR is connected to the Plusnet line, and that your account is activated/up and running? Do you have any success if you change the port to 25?

SMTP testers can also be useful in these situations. SMTP Diagnostics is a fully functional trial version which I've used before:

Re: Kguard DVR SMTP Problems

Do you have a GMail account? If you do, you could enable external access to that and try relaying through GMail's SMTP server. Might help narrow the cause. Other than that, there's what I suggested in reply 2 Wink
