On a Linux machine, not sure what you use, I only had to fill out these settings:
Mail server name
Mail server port
Sender email address
Server admin email
On a local network you can just pass it to your mail service (postfix here) and it will do everything else.
All of our other web apps and client server apps can connect to the local email server fine without user name and password. I stumped… I’ve tried every configuration and NO LUCK:(
So far, if anyone is interested th solution was extremely simple:
On the “Send test mail after saving the settings (leave empty to not send a test mail)”: you should put EMAIL not test message!! That is not really clear from interface and not clearly explained in admin guide.
I beleive it’s somehow better managed in english version, but in russian interface it does not mention email address
Hi, when I try to send test message, I got error “Failed sending data to the peer(ec=55), RCPT failed: 501”. When job finished, urbackup didn’t send any message to admin email. Please help me fix this problem. Thanks
Had the same problem, here’s how it got resolved:
My ermail server setting were correct. I used the the dummy email address “urbackup@mydomain.pvt” for the Sender E-Mail Address because 1) The alert would be easier to sort by address in the masses of email I get every day and 2) I didn’t think it mattered. It did.
After changing the Sender E-Mail Address from urbackup@mydomain.pvt to a real email address (my personal email), I got tons of messages in my mailbox, leftovers from previous tests. Problem solved.
If anyone cares to test this or duplicate it, I’d appreciate it because, after all, I’m just one guy with one computer and YMMV.
