Sonicwall NSA4500 - Email Alerts to Gmail
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a Sonciwall NSA 4500 at a remote office to probe my HQ, and in the event of a down probe, send an email to gmail. There is currently no local mail server in the remote office*.
I would like to set this up for direct SMTP sending from the SonicWall (as opposed to spinning up an SMTP relay server or linux node to run the probe.) For the life of me, I cannot figure it out. I have seen threads on settign the SMTP server to gmail.smtp.in.l.google.com
I have used:
Mail server: smtp.gmail.com (as well as gmail.smtp.in.l.google.com
From: XXXXX@gmail.com
I've tried all combos of authentication:
1. Enabling SMTP Authtication
2. Changing the port
3. Using the Authentication meathod
I'm interested that there is no option for TLS (although we can change the port, so...)

Try using aspmx.l.google.com

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working. I might just be over it and either spin up an SMTP relay server (or some linux/windows box ) to run it.

Hmm. So I went ahead and spun up a Virtual SMTP server (server 2008). The server will accept email from the Sonicwall, but I cant seem to get it to relay to Gmail.
Virtual SMTP server settings used (all on delivery Tab)
Outbound Security:
Basic Authentication:
myaccount@gmail.com\mypass
TLS enycption
Outbound Connections:
TCP Port: 587
Advanced:
Smart Host: smtp.gmail.com
Emails pile up in my queue folder, but don't go out :(

Hmmm, nothing seems to be working. Might be my ISP at the site. I'm going to see if they'll let me relay SMTP through them
