Great software.
Okay, so I've done my reading through the forum and got a couple of nuggets along the way but I am still unable
to get the e-mail function to work. I am using Windows IIS to make an SMTP virtual server to shimmy around the
IT firewall. That appears to work as I can see the response from the external SMTP server while running elogd
with the -v flag. The elogd -v details are below:
Email from xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com to xxxxxx.XXXXXXX@XXXXX.com,XXXXX.XXXXX X@XXXXX.com, SMTP host
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.XXXXX.com:

535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful
==== Return ================================
From the SMTP server response it is not logging in, but I don't know why. I can log in to the webmail app with
the username/password provided to ELOG, but it doesn't appear to work through ELOG. The SMTP provider includes
the following info to setup e-mail accounts via SMTP: "Please note: To send e-mail using the SMTP-Server,
activate SMTP Authentication. Please do not use the Secure Password Authentication (SPA) option. Optionally,
port 587 can also be used in addition to the default port (25) RFC 2476."
For authentication via the Windows IIS I have "basic authentication" with no TLS encryption required - I'm not
sure if that meets the provider's "SMTP authentication" requirement. When I was using the previous version of
ELOG (sorry, I did not note the version number) the username was encrypted along with the password. With the
2168 build, the password is still encrypted but the usernamer is not; should the password be in "plain text" as
well?
I can provide you with a username/password for the SMTP provider I'm using if that will help. Please send me a
separate e-mail and I will reply with the information.
Thank you,
