Just got off the phone with Dell Support. It sounds like recent changes require encryption on the SMTP session else it fails. You can bypass that by using putty to SSH into your iDRAC and run the command: racadm set idrac.RemoteHosts.ConnectionEncryption None Immediately after doing this I was able to send a test alert.

Hello, we have a problem with sending emails from iDRAC 9 Enterprise starting from version 4.0.0.0. Sending emails was working fine up to version 3.36.36.36. After we upgraded to 4.0.0.0 we started receiving error: RAC0225: Sending the test mail failed We also tested 4.10.10.10 but got the same error. Our setup is the following: We already tried everything proposed in other topics with the same error but nothing helps. On the mail server side we can see iDRAC connecting, but it simply disconnects without even trying to perform send: Feb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 220 relay.mgmt ESMTP PostfixFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: < r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: EHLO mgmtFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-relay.mgmtFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-PIPELININGFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-SIZE 10240000Feb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-VRFYFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-ETRNFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODESFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250-8BITMIMEFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 250 DSNFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: < r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: QUITFeb 29 09:15:44 relay postfix/smtpd[24152]: > r6415-33.mgmt[192.168.1.154]: 221 2.0.0 Bye So far the only solution we found is to downgrade iDRAC to 3.36.36.36. Also, in the release notes of 4.0.0.0 we found the following:- Customize Sender Address for iDRAC email alerts- iDRAC email alerting to work with cloud-based email servers and assumed that this change might have caused the problem when using internal SMTP relays. Thanks in advance emir
