You could also get a Regular Free Yahoo Email account, or a Free Gmail Account. Gmail is requiring Authentication using a secure port of 465. Gmail is now allowing IMAP too.

Will this notify us of a network intruder or another user accessing the server if say... they had an account?

I'd like to log traffic on the server if possible.

Nope, this only picks up the health notifications. If you see it pop up on the system tray of your PC, you'll get an email from Remote Notification.

I'm no SMTP expert, but that looks like you probably have everything configured correctly, but the AOL SMTP server is rejecting you for some reason. I did read some posts that their SMTP server sometimes rejects sending mails.

I'd suggest trying to find your Verizon SMTP server login and email account; you don't have to actually use that account, just send the emails via it.

Sorry I can't help more...

Hello Yakuza,

I took your advice and looked up my Verizon login and email address. The first time I clicked the test button, I got the same error message. However, then it worked.

Hey. I signed up at these forums just to try and get some help with this add-in as it does exactly what I need. When I put in my info and hit test I got this error, and now I just noticed it's coming up every 2 minutes in my event log.

I'm using gmail smtp which works perfectly fine via outlook on a virtual machine I have running on the server.

Code:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The operation has timed out.
   at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)
   at RemoteNotificationService.RemoteNotificationService.SendMessage(String subject, String body)


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: Well nevermind, I solved my own problem shortly after posting here. On gmails site it said to use 465 as the port, but I found another site that also said you can use 587. As soon as I changed it, it worked right away.

Thanks for this great add-in!

Glad you got it working! In the release notes (first post in this thread) I mention Gmail needing port 587. Thanks for the feedback!

Is the Gmail smtp server still working for everyone here?

For myself, the test message said it worked successfully using G-mail as my smtp server but the message never reached the intended recipient. So when I checked my Gmail account to see what was sent, I found that google had blocked the mesages since it considered it SPAM!

After looking around online to see if there was a work around to this, I found that this is pretty wide spread and it seems to have started around June 4th.

Or is it just me?

Hmm, I've not heard any reports of this. I don't send to my Gmail account, though I use my Gmail account to send the emails to my cell phone as txt messages. Does Google list a reason for marking it as Spam (header format, bad relay, etc)? And can you simply mark as not spam and have no further issues?

gmail gives the following error message when they bounce the message:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

'email address'

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: Message rejected. See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=69585 for more information.

I was able to send a text message to my phone though. But when I try to use an email address it always gets bounced. The following discussion forum shows quite a few others having the same issue. http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Message-Delivery-en/browse_thread/thread/6b1e3bde5827f058/affd6ad9a52506c7 Problem is no one has a solution to it.

Interesting, thanks for sharing the link, hopefully Google gets the issue resolved soon!

Hey, I'm new here, therefore at first thanks for the nice Add-In.

What I miss, is a feature, that I get notifications, when a user logs in and/or logs-out.

Do you think it would be possible, to integrate that in Remote Notification?
Then, the Add-In would be perfect :lol:

Cheers,
chapolote

It's possible, however WHS does not supply that info through the health notification API which is what Remote Notification uses. I'd have to do some fancy parsing of either Event Viewer events or WHS logs, which I've been reluctant to do.

I do agree that it would be a nice feature!

You might be able to do that with the Event Monitor Add-In.... Been a while since I used it though.
