Email notification insists on verification

Configuration
1

My notification settings are:

notify:

  • name “sci1”
    platform: smtp
    sender: “[email protected]”
    sender_name: “Home Assistant”
    recipient: “[email protected]”
    server:
    port: 25
    encryption: none
    timeout: 15
    username: “”
    password: “”
    verify_ssl: false

HAOS attempts to contact my SMTP server to send an email, but insists on verification. SMTP server reports:HAOS did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN to MTA.

This is exactly the same configuration I use everywhere on my localnet. No clients initiate verification. How do I get HAOS to stop?

Thank you.

This smtp notify structure has no destination server or login credentials.

The error you note makes sense, it essentially said, ‘hey I can’t send mail…’. Without a server or creds that makes sense.

What server are you sending the email with. And how are you logging in? I doubt the other boxes are configured without a server.
