    Default no email notifications from profilux

    I am fighting for days now with this issue, but I cant get it done. I walked through the checklist as well, but i still do not get any email notifications.

    My profilux is connected to the router through LAN.
    Specially for this issue, i created a yahoo.com email account.
    I switched off my Norton Firewall.
    my settings, email notification:

    TO: xxxx@yahoo.com
    SUBJECT: profilux status
    MESSAGE: check aquarium status
    MAILING CONDITION: "ALARM" "JUST NEW"

    my settings email account:

    Domain mailserver: smtp.mail.yahoo.com PORT: 25
    my name: robertvo
    my email adress: xxxx@yahoo.com

    Mailserver requires authentification:

    xxxx@yahoo.com
    "my password"

    When I hit the test button, i do get some input at "Current SMTP-server-IP" = 98.139.212.139
    But I dont receive any emails, also nothing in my spambox.
    Also when an alarms occurs on my profilux, nothing is send..... What do i do wrong?

    I believe that Yahoo only allows encrypted email connections (or its your ISP that blocks port 25 ) => unfortunatly the profilux can't make encrypted connections.

    you will have to find an email provider that allows non encrypted send.

    That was actually the reason i switched from hotmail to yahoo, according to this checklist: http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/sh...with-ProfiLux3
    Yahoo should work fine, or is that a mistake then?

    If I understand correctly.. and that's a big IF.... Yahoo has two levels of service. Free based and FEE based. In order to get SMTP support/use you have to sign up for their FEE based mail account. This may or may not be the correct answer to your question but I thought I'd offer it up as advice in case it helps someone else.

    Mine works fine, settings:
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    port: 25

    The weird thing is, it will only email to my yahoo account and not to other emails.

    Above your password, don't put @yahoo.com - just put your username.

    I tried those settings and still didn't get anything (even to my own yahoo account). Is there a way to run a "Test" and be able to "See" where it's failing?

    Are you sure it's connected to the network?
    Can you log in to the P3 via tcp/ip? If you can log in to it "through" the network, you know the p3 is at least not having connectivity issues.
