I recently upgraded my XSI to the latest version and my cron jobs are no longer emailing out reports. My SMTP server is an open relay (secured by IP address whitelist). Here is one line from the backup.
/vmfs/volumes/XVM04-XDataStoreSSD-01/xsibackup/xsibackup --backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/XVM04-XDataStoreHDD-02/VMBackups/ --backup-type=all --mail-from=backup@mydomain.com --mail-to=backup@mydomain.com --smtp-srv=10.9.7.228 --smtp-auth --smtp-port=25 --time="Mon 07:00".
HEre is the log entry:
[0;32mFound --backup-point at /vmfs/volumes/XVM04-XDataStoreHDD-03/VMBackups/[0m
[0;36mThe e-mail report will not be sent becouse of the followig reasons:[0m
[0;36mThe --smtp-usr string has not been set, you need --smtp-usr if --smtp-auth is other than -none-[0m
[0;36mThe --smtp-pwd string has not been set, you need --smtp-pwd if --smtp-auth is other than -none-[0m
Do I have to set a username/password if it's an open relay?
you have to write "--smtp-auth=none"
you wrote only "--smtp-auth"
