Fixed: Dell iDRAC6 SMTP Email Alert Settings

Goal: get email notifications sent from a Dell Poweredge with iDRAC6 when a server issue occurs.

Problem: "Email not sent." is the message displayed after clicking Send Test Email.

Solution: 

1. iDRAC Settings > Network/Security > Enter your DNS Domain Name (ex. yourdomain.com)
2. iDRAC Settings > Network/Security > Set DNS Servers (this is so external SMTP domains can be translated)
3. Apply
4. System > Alerts > Click Enabled for Enable Platform Event Filter Alerts
5. Apply
6. System > Alerts > Email Alert Settings > Enter destination email and Email Description
7. System > Alerts > Email Alert Settings > Enter in either your internal email server or external email relay. iDRAC 6 does work with external email relays outside of your organization.
8. Apply
9. System > Alerts > Email Alert Settings > Click Send to Test E-Mail

A successful email will be sent:

Subject: Alert from iDRAC

Message: [DELL IDRAC WARNING]
Message: TEST PAGE
Event: Email paging test to user.
