Fortigate v7.0.9: Email notifcations not working

On our fortigate the email notifications are not working:

1. We are able to ping notifcation.fortinet.net

2. Debug of an email notifcation gives following result:

 

resolve notification.fortinet.net to 1 IP
==> send mail
can not start session

 

3. Email service settings are default.

Hello,

 

You may consider to collect debugs traces below once the issue is triggered:

 

diag debug reset
diag debug enable
diag debug console timestamp enable
diag debug application alertmail -1

diagnose log alertmail test

 

Traffic sniffer:

diagnose sniffer packet any 'host <IP address of the server>' 6 0 a

Hello,

 

User is not defined and DNS entry is not resolved. I would recommend to open a TAC ticket, since it will be helpful to review the configuration.
