Send Test Email

Please disregard. I changed from TLS to SSL and test message was sent successfully.

Hello all. Thank you for having me. First time post. Have had FreeNas up and running for approx one day. FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x86 (r11950)

So far so good!

The only issue that I appear to be having is sending out a test email. I assume that I have configured the email parameters correctly. Here is what I have done:

From email: myname@gmail.com (same address used as root email address)
Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
Port to connect to: 465 (have aslo tried 587 with same result)
TLS/SSL = TLS
Use SMTP Authentication: Checked
Username: myname@gmail.com
Password: myGmailPassword
Password confirmation: myGmailPassword

When I click "Send Test email" I do not receive an error. Nor do I receive a "Message sent successfully" either.
Ultimately, I never do receive the test email.

I am stumped. Your assistance would be greatly appreciate. Thank you. Peter

Can you try to check if freenas can resolve gmail hostname.

How would I go about doing that?
