G'day,

When setting up the Continua email notification I couldn't test the connection credentials, or used my ISP mail relay (no authentication).

I’ve removed the requirement for a username and password. I’ll get around to the validate button once I sort a few bugs out first. I’m hoping the validate makes the next build but the requirement for username/password definitely will.

Sweet and I have email notification routing working and there is a shiny “Validation” button!

Build 926, reverts some code, so that anonymous email relay is not possible.   
 A new event has been added to the event log:

You should be able to save it even if validate fails. I’ll change the validate code to ignore it anyway
