      I am trying to set this up. I set my server to smtp.gmail.com, and am using port 587. I checked the box for Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS. I set the auth mechanism to LOGIN. Upon testing, it fails. What am I missing?

        @droidus said in setting up new client email notifications:

        I checked the box for Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS.

        I guess, you shouldn't have done this.

        With this option the client is awaiting an an SSL cert as first response from the server, but the server might not deliver it. Instead he will announce STARTLS on port 587. If STARTLS is announced the client will use it and request the SSL cert then.

        You may check "Validate SSL/TLS" instead.

          @viragomann Awesome, worked, thanks! How do I set it so that when a new client joins the network, I get an email notification?
