APC Network Management Card AP9619

[Anonymous user]

Hi All, I am soon to be receiving an AP 9619 NMC for my APC UPS Does anyone know if it accepts authenticated SMTP ? Having looked online I get mixed reviews as to yes or no, I primarily purchased it so that I could receive email alerts in the event of a power cut whilst I am not on site. But I need to authenticate to my main mail server, so would be a shame to miss out on this. Or is there any anonymous smtp servers online I can send mail from ? If it does not support this, I have heard about setting up a local SMTP server for anonymous login and then relay that to the authenticated server ? Could anyone assist on this ? I have never set anything in regards to mail up, I would ideally like the card to accept authenticated servers then I don't have additional points of failure, and having to keep another machine up during a power outage so that I can be alerted. Many Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately AP9619 NMC's does not support authenticated SMTP, only the AP9630, AP9631 and AP9635 cards support this. The option as you suggested also is to create a mail relay and have the AP9619 send email to a mail relay over port 25 and then relay that to the actual mail server over the specified port with SMTP authentication.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply back...

Would it be possible for you to expand on how I would set up a mail relay ?

Cheers.
