Not getting email notifications

[littleboss]

I have a new  Smart UPS 750  SMT750C and don't get email notifications of events. If I unplug it from AC power and then look in my Event Log online I see UPS on Battery and then Power Restored. So I know the info is getting to the AP server.

I have tried both my hotmail and gmail accounts and neither work.

Thanks

I downloaded Power Chute and set up my email there. Still doesn't work.. Logfile says:

I got an app password from my Yahoo email for the Powerchute software and am using it. I had to do that for my Reolink NVR notifications to work. Still doesn't work.. My email settings:

Please follow the instruction found in this Stack Overflow post to allow less secure apps use your Yaho mail account. 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62030011/allow-less-secure-app-access-in-yahoo-mail

Before I allowed less secure apps I would see 

2022-02-07 13:35:10,772 [SMTPMailWorker] WARN - [SMTPMailer.SMTPMailWorker.()] SMTPMailConfigException :javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535 5.7.0 (#AUTH005) Too many bad auth attempts.

After allowing less secure apps for my Yahoo account I now see 

2022-02-07 13:41:52,968 [SMTPMailWorker] WARN - [SMTPMailer.SMTPMailWorker.()] Send mail ok

I had already created a password for the APC but I did try port 587. Still no go.

Message in log file says

 2022-02-08 09:34:44,767 [SMTPMailWorker] WARN - [SMTPMailer.SMTPMailWorker.()] Subject :littleboss-HP : No Longer On Battery
2022-02-08 09:34:45,567 [SMTPMailWorker] WARN - [SMTPMailer.SMTPMailWorker.()] Send mail Failed :com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 554 Email rejected

I tried creating a new app password. No go.......

I then went to the APC Smart Connect website. There I created a custom notification with two events.

Now when I lose power or back on power I get emails. 

What was odd was that if i pulled the network cable I got a notification that their was no connection. So I went back and  looked at the Critical notifications and it was only set up for critical not the two that I wanted.

not sure why Power chute doesn't work but at least I get the notifications that I need.
