Netgear-Email Logs-No optoins for SMTP port or SMTP Auth!!
I have a netgear FVS 114 VPN router.
We think we had someone hack into our network from China and download some files (we were using a network monitoring software that alerted us to this). I am trying to pull the logs from the router to try to trace the transfer internally. The only way to get to the logs is a button on the routers web interface to email them out. There is a separate page to setup the email settings - these are the only fields on that page:
Send to this E-mail Address:
Outgoing Mail Server:
No SMTP port, no SMTP Authentication.
How do i get this thing to send out emails when there are no email servers anymore that don't use an alternate port or SMTP Auth?
There is a firmware update available for this router - but I'm hesitant to update it. Last time i did a firmware update it wiped out everything on the router (including logs).
Any ideas?

We have no internal email server
If the router doesn't support SMTP authentication, you have to use a mail server that doesn't use SMTP authentication. I don't see any way around that.
You can perhaps setup your own in-house smtp server to handle this one transaction and configure it however you like. I believe most flavors of windows server OS have a mail server built in that you can turn on. Otherwise I'm sure there is some free or trial SMTP server software out there you can install on a box, give the box a static IP, and point your router at it.

Technically you could set up a mailbox, then foward this mailbox to an outside source. But you still need an email server.
