Configure Alert on MD3220i

Hi there, I'm really in on pressure to configure Alert on MD3220i, please help me so I'm in rush. what I did so far:

I setup virtual mail server (include gmail account, it works fine I can send out test email) on my 2012 R2 server which is connected to SAN (just one volume)

I put different format of the mail server (server IP address, domain name, server name, Blank),  on Mail Server field, I don't know what format should I use. also put sender email address as I setup on virtual mail server and recipient email address too. depend on what name I put on Mail Server name I get different error like:

ServerName --> Validation unsuccessful. Input stream checking SMTP return code....

myVirtualMailServerName --> The mail (SMTP) server you specified can not be found ....

smtp.gmail.com --> Validation Unsuccessful . Incorrect return code from smtp command. ...

please help me to fix this one

thanks a lot

    Hello mydevel,

    You should be able to configure email alerts to any mail server without an issue. Have you checked to make sure that you are configuring your email alerts like on page 42 of the admin guide? Here is a link to the guide just in case you need it. http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/md32xx_md36xx_administrator%20guide_en%20us.pdf

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi, thanks for reply. it's solved. I put 127.0.0.1 as SMTP mail server and now it works. for some reason that not clear to me it didn't work with my virtual mail server that I defined on server.

    BTW happy that works now,

    cheers
