Getting Notify to work for email and text messaging

[DStampfer]

While this feature used to work properly for me, through various updates I've noticed some changes and things have stopped working. I've tried to fix this and couldn't really find a specific answer in the forum. My ISP is Verizon FIOS (though shouldn't matter with present config), My ISY is running 2.7.13. I currently am able to log in remotely to my ISY over internet, would like to retain the feature and I'm comfortable with my current port settings for inbound traffic. I'm using ports 5555 and 5557 for nonsecure and secure settings.

 

In the past, my email/text notification list was a (?comma or semicolon delineated) group of addresses and NOTIFY ALL was a program line. When I recently went to check things out, I noticed that ALL was no longer an option, but that individual entries could be setup. I deleted the list of address, added them back individually, and modified the programs. This did not fix the lack of notifications being sent.

 

The real problem is the error when ISY tries to send the message(s). There is a 50001 error [Mail Server Failure-AuthLogin Not accepted] and 60006 error- NTP Server Not Responding [-51]. The first error happens every time, the second is sporadic. I have the mail setting set to default in the ISY, so I assume it's going through Universal Devices. I could reconfigure it to go through a different server like Verizon, but when I tried this in the past, there was a problem with blocked ports and timeouts.

 

Thanks for your assistance and suggestions on how to fix this.

 

-- One more unrelated thing-- is there currently any work around for Mac OS computers that can't run Java 1.6? I currently have no access to my control panel from my main computer, but can get to it from an old Windows XP machine and my wife's computer which has Snow Leopard.
