Hello- My first post. Have two 7716's in commercial installation. instead of beeper going off to make aware of hdd problem, illegal login, etc, customer wants an email notification. I've set up for a Google gmail alert but can't get working. does it have to be gmail? the customer has Cox as its provider on an Exchange network. can that work or does it have to be gmail? Thanks
 
Gmail works great. Be sure that your dns settings are set in your network settings. I usually set them to googles servers which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
