Email Notifications and Logging
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:20 pm
Greetings...
Long time R-Drive user here. Always really liked the program. However, recently I have needed to diagnose some problems a client of mine is having and I am at an impasse. I tried using the email notifications to send myself info when his backups have occurred, yay or nay, but I have so far been unable to get the notifications to work. The panel to set this up is pretty straight forward it seems, but I keep getting errors (Error: (-6) bad server response).
So panel gets server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465
sender: emailaddress@yahoo.com
recipient: anotheremailaddress@yahoo.com
Auth: emailaddress@yahoo.com
pswd: *******
data is all correct, have tried this many times...
I have also looked into using log files, but it appears that this is only possible for a one time shot? Is there anyway to set them up to be generated automatically which each script?
Thanks for your help...
