ONTAP 9

Answer

Since ONTAP 9.15.1, SMTP authentication for event notification is available using these command:

::> event config modify -mail-server 192.168.0.61:587 -mail-server-user mySMTPUser
::> event config set-mail-server-password
Enter the password::
Confirm the password::

Additional Information

Some SMTP servers might enforce STARTTLS when the client uses SMTP-AUTH, but STARTTLS for event config might not be available: CONTAP-30152.
