I'm having some problems configuring email alerts on Netscreen 6.3r22 on 2 SSG-550M in an NSRP group active/active. I'm aware that there are limitations of sending SMTP alerts via mail servers requiring authentication however mails don't appear to be generating from the Firewall at all
When I turn on debugging and check
debug sendmail all
get db stream
I get this output which is confusing
## 2016-08-23 16:37:50 : Notify (1)
## 2016-08-23 16:37:50 : Prepare to send mail [sort=0]

I've configured a mail server and admin addresses
Mail Alert: On, Mail Server: mail.example.com
E-Mail Address: me@example.com
E-Mail Traffic Log: Off
Configuration Format: DOS
Device Reset: Enabled
Hardware Reset: Enabled
Admin privilege: read-only (Remote admin has read-only privileges)
Max Failed Admin login attempts: 10
Lock admin accounts on auth failure: On, locking time 1 minutes
HTTP redirect: true
I dont see anything hitting the mail server but I can't seem to find an explanation of those failure types on Juniper forums. from this output, to me it looks as though the mails don't send but I don't understand why.
