How do I manage my email alert contacts on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
When certain system events occur, the ReadyNAS sends alerts to email addresses that you specify using an authorized email account.
By entering your email account information, you authorize the ReadyNAS to send email alerts from that account.
To configure the email alert recipients and sender:
1. Select System > Settings > Alerts.
2. In the Email field, enter the email address that you want to receive alerts.
Tip: If you want multiple email addresses to receive alerts, separate each email address with a space, not a comma.
3. Configure the email settings as explained in the following table:
