Email notifications : stacktrace

[Clayzee 4]

Hello !

I have installed the email notifications' plugin on my Emby Server, but it seems that it crashes while attempting to send an email

Emby server setup

• plaftorm : Synology DSM7
• plugin version : 3.1.6.0

NB : The SMTP settings that I've keyed in are the exact same that are used for the notifications on the Synology NAS ( and I can confirm they work when used with the Synology notifications )

Could someone help me understand what is wrong ?

Thanks beforehand !

Hi, this is a problem with the microsoft provided email function in the .net runtime. It's a little out of date and not able to send to gmail. Last I checked I think gmail just ends up rejecting it.

Thanks for your reply !
I tried to use an *hotmail address as the recipient, but the logs show the same " command unrecognized " error

Here's a screenshot of the settings :

It's probably the same thing. You can find some tips and workaround in the thread for the plugin:

Truthfully I'm at the point of wanting to pull the plugin, but some do use it successfully.

Couldn't get it to work either way ( I even tried switching to another SMTP server, w/o success ...  ), so I ended up removing the plugin
