This article demonstrates how to set up Mail Alerts with VigorACS, to notify the network administrator when a CPE's WAN or VPN interface has lost connection.

    2. Security protocol of the server (none, SSL, TLS)
    3. Port

 Troubleshooting

Some SMTP servers will not allow unauthorized mail agents, you might need to use less secure settings to use Mail Alert Service. For Gmail, this can be adjusted at Account > Sign-in & security.
