Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux SMTP Relay Issue With Gmail

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Cody,

The "From Email (Optional)" field defaults to the Network tab settings ... SAFE_ASTERISK_NOTIFY_FROM, or if not defined then UPS_NOTIFY_FROM .

BTW, If the email address field is of the form: name <fo...@ex...>
Then the resulting email address is stripped to be just: fo...@ex...

So, look at your ...

Network tab -> Safe Asterisk & SIP Monitoring: -> Notify Email Address From:
-- or --
Network tab -> UPS Monitoring & Shutdown: -> Notify Email Address From:

it looks like you have an invalid "From" email address defined.

Mine is defaulting to fill in "AstLinux On HP Thin Client" that I would have put in as a subject line not as a "from" email address. Note that I had no issues until I changed my email address password and updated it in Astlinux and tested. I remember testing when I first set it up and did not have a problem. The second field in the Test SMTP Mail Relay is expecting an email address. Since I saw my email subject line, I ignored reading what the title of the field actually was. I used to get email notifications for things, and I remember setting a subject line somewhere. Now I cannot get the "AstLinux On HP Thin Client" to not repopulate in the "From Email (Optional)" field. How do I get this field to be blank now? It defaults back to Astlinux On HP Thin Client after I clear it and hit send or return to the Test SMTP Mail relay screen again.
