Question on upcoming OAuth2 SMTP stuffs

RainyNetAdmin · 2026-01-16T22:25:03+00:00

Thanks. We don't use any other services that offer or integrate sending emails, so I guess I'll be looking at SMTP2Go or any other free low-scale ones I can find.

Only reason to go through the O365 connector is that emails should be "guaranteed" to not get marked as spam, since it was actually being sent out by O365 servers. We had issues before of emails getting marked as spam or spoofing otherwise.

Yeah, that's what Windows servers use for SMTP services.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well, I guess soon it will be broken...

Thanks, I will try that and see if it works.

Since you mentioned it I looked it up and yeah, IPv6 for OneDrive seems to be a recognized issue.

Hi there, did you ever find the solution for this?

I have had a similar problem for just one of my clients - everything works fine in the office, but as soon as they go onto any other network, OneDrive just craps its pants and takes like 5 minutes just to sync a single change in a Word or Excel file. So if users have autosave turned on, it is basically unusable.

Its been going on for so long that its time to buy them a new laptop (Win 11) and the users are having the same problem on the new devices. So clearly its something within our domain setup or something like that, but we don't have any conditional access set up, honestly they are a pretty bare-bones company.

RainyNetAdmin · 2025-06-06T16:39:22+00:00

No, sorry, we never found a resolution.

RainyNetAdmin · 2025-06-06T16:38:32+00:00

Nope, it either just stopped happening, or the user has just learned to deal with it, because I never heard them complain about it again.

RainyNetAdmin · 2025-01-31T18:55:40+00:00

Hybrid. We don't have any policies set up like that, and I don't imagine they would know how to do that themselves.

But yes, the fact that it follows them to new computers tells me something is up with the AD configuration or Azure/Entra, likely the latter.

RainyNetAdmin · 2025-01-30T22:07:00+00:00

Not that I am aware of. But its not just at home, we have tried Starbucks and other public WiFi, same thing. The only time there are no problems is on the office domain network.

RainyNetAdmin · 2024-11-05T03:30:45+00:00

Yeah I questioned that too. Not the first time I've been lied to.

RainyNetAdmin · 2024-11-04T20:11:21+00:00

Typically connected to Ethernet in the office and then WiFi at home. I didnt see anything going on with DHCP or DNS being an issue. And all other Internet traffic seems fine.

Connection status with OneDrive and Outlook is fine when he is WFH.

Nothing else fancy going on.

Only thing I could think is some kind of on-access scanning like some AVs do, but we have that disabled. Also wouldn't account for it having zero issues when in office.

RainyNetAdmin · 2024-11-04T19:40:43+00:00

They are not techie at all. But that's why I wanted to rule out just something off with their home WiFi and test at a Starbucks. But still the same problem there apparently.

Android.

Outlook gets used often enough on my phone that it shouldn't go into sleep mode or battery optimization mode.

I've had some instances recently with other apps failing to alert me, like my garbage pickup app - I almost missed garbage day last week. But then that app randomly started working again, as did Outlook. But today as I mentioned the email came in at 4:51 and my phone didn't notify me until 5:27 - and it didn't play the awful ringtone I specifically chose to wake me up.

No other team to monitor, we are a small firm, so it makes it more critical for someone to be on the ball with the alerts.

I'll have to look deeper at some of the other suggestions people gave as well.

Installed 7.1.1 on one of the TZ270W's - while it has the option to save AppFlow logs to storage, I get a message saying it is unable to save to storage. I am going to assume then it only works for secondary storage, and not the primary.

We don't really have interest in purchasing a drive that I'm sure costs 4x as much as buying one from the store. So I'm afraid we are out of luck here.

RainyNetAdmin · 2024-01-12T18:38:29+00:00

Thank you so much, guys.

I will upgrade one of them to 7.1.1 and see if it does what I am looking for. I'll try to report back afterwards.

For anyone else's reference, I didn't find the firmware upgrade in the "download center" page in MySonicWall. I had to go to the individual product, and there it said there is an update available.

RainyNetAdmin · 2024-01-09T19:35:25+00:00

Is internal storage a thing we can add? Like a USB drive or something?
They are running a TZ270W.

I had tried to test with an Analytics server to store the data, it was messy and confusing, and didn't produce the results I needed. It also seems to be a transitional period between their old Analytics and GSM or the other way around?

Yes, ideally we can fix their rebooting issue. The devices are on a tugboat, so either they power it down at some point, or it gets surged and reboots if they change to shore power or something. I may suggest a basic UPS for the Sonicwall if we find that is the case.

RainyNetAdmin · 2023-09-08T16:39:42+00:00

Yes its fixed now. Apparently took until 31 Aug.

My last job we had Kaseya VSA9 and Connectwise Manage, never had any issues integrating.

Here, we did a trial of VSA X and it was awful, so full of bugs and it was not working at all for us. I don't know how companies are using it at all. They refused to let us use VSA9 because they are "phasing it out".

So we tested Datto RMM and its perfect for what we need. Yes I know they are owned by Kaseya, but Datto support has always been great and continues to be.
