Firewall rules for Email notifications

[stargatestudiosmt]

Our storage servers are not connected to the internet but we can configure an exception for email notifications. Can you inform us the port and server required for email notifications.
Thanks

Hi,


I haven't tried it but supposedly you can configure FFS to use your own SMTP server.

FreeFileSync doesn't require you to manually configure SMTP settings for email notifications
. It uses a built-in web service to send emails
. However, if you want to use your own SMTP server, you'll need to modify the GlobalSettings.xml file
.

Here's a general guide on how to do it:

Locate the GlobalSettings.xml file:

Windows: %AppData%\FreeFileSync\GlobalSettings.xml

Linux: ~/.config/FreeFileSync/GlobalSettings.xml

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/FreeFileSync/GlobalSettings.xml

Edit the GlobalSettings.xml file:

Open the file with a text editor while FreeFileSync is not running
.

Add the SMTP settings within the <Email> section
. Here's an example:

xml

Copy
<Email>
<SMTPServer>smtp.yourserver.com</SMTPServer>
<SMTPPort>587</SMTPPort>
<SMTPUser>YourEmailUsername</SMTPUser>
<SMTPPassword>YourEmailPassword</SMTPPassword>
<SMTPSecure>tls</SMTPSecure>
</Email>
Save the changes and restart FreeFileSync.

Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual SMTP server details.

Is this ChatGPT nonsense!? None of the above is true. FreeFileSync (currently) doesn't support custom SMTP.
