GMAIL has instructions on SMTP settings you need to send through their SMTP server, but it doesn't look like your DVR will support them all (it requires TLS encryption on a non-standard port).

 

You'd probably be better off using your ISP's mail server, with the same settings you'd use for your computer's mail client. Check with their support website or support line for the proper settings.

If you can't use your ISP's? Well, you could possibly set up your own SMTP server on your computer, and have the DVR send through that... or sign up for another third-party SMTP server somewhere (no, I don't know any - try googling for it).

Google's mail relay is aspmx.l.google.com, port 25. It does not require authentication. It will only relay mail to Google addresses. Your ISP might block outbound port 25 use.

okay so in the local user i'd put and in the local domain i'd put ?

what about the IP? i'm in the UK, does this affect anything? how do i ccheck if the outbound port is blocked without contacting my ISP? (0845 number)
