Tool Email setup/troubleshooting

Setup and troubleshooting RouterOS email function

Insure you have the basic router setup complete. Ip address, default route, and DNS. NTP recommended.

Go to /tool e-mail

Enter the email server ip. If your email service allows you to send email with a username and password, you may use the email server ip provided by your ISP. If not, use the ip of the email server that handles the domain for the destination email address. No user or password entered for this.

Enter the "from" address. This must be a valid format and domain.

Enter a username and password only if the email server requires it. If you are using the destination email address email server, leave the user and password blank

Go to /system logging

add topic=e-mail action=memory

Try a test email. In /tool e-mail
send to=you@yourdomain.com subject="test" body="test"
or
send to=you@yourdomain.com subject="test" body="test" tls=yes
ir your email server requires a secure connection

Check /system log for the result.

If you need to check the connection to the email server from the router:
/tool telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 25
and the server should respond with
220 server.domain.com ESMTP xxxxxxxxxx
Type 'quit' to terminate the telnet connection from the email server.<p>
