Cannot get email from NAS...firewall settings? Warren, John 02-27-2007

I have a NAS that allows for errors to be emailed and I decided to use
GMail. However, it doesn't seem to be sending the emails. I suspect
that my router's firewall is blocking the port. I would like to know
what is the most secure way to get the emails out. I guess I need to
open the port listed below ONLY for outgoing and ONLY for (an IP, a
MAC addr?) but how do I do this?

Here are the settings and where I found them:
smtp.gmail.com
port: 465 or 587
imachessnut@gmail.com

THANKS

Why not just send them via your local smtp server as you would any other
emails?

So he never sends regular emails?

I assume he sends mails and might use a remote mail server to do it. Most of
our customers use our mail servers, only a small part runs their own local
mail server. Using the mail server of ones ISP has been common practice for
decades and I would not regard that as a local one. Well, and if any of our
customers does, I have to talk seriously with him . ;)
