Hello all,
I'm a bit of a numbskull on this one, so please forgive what may be such a common and simple issue.
Originally I had setup my email via a gmail account and had it working and it sent test emails just fine after following some information on setting up gmail options with FreeNAS. However, that was with DHCP enabled. Later on, I went to static IP and didn't allow DHCP to handle my FreeNAS box nor my IPMI address so that I could have a common static way to access them from any of my terminals/clients.
Now, my email is broken of course.
After some reading, it seems to have to do with DNS routing. However, this is where I am having my issues.
My user (root) has the appropriate working email address specified.
My system->email reporting has the appropriate SMTP server, port, login info, etc, for sending reports for gmail use (and the appropriate security on gmail's side updated).
My network->general settings is where my issue is. I have nothing under the IPv4/IPv6 gateways, nothing under any Nameservers, Domain is just "local" and Hostname is just my FreeNAS boxe's name.
Should I be getting a DNS number or gateway numbers from my router somehow?
This box has access to the internet via my router it's connected. It was working before as mentioned. After leaving DHCP and going to static things broke.
Very best,
