FreeNAS Mail Notification Settings

Mail notifications need to be set up in several areas within FreeNAS. It’s easy to miss one.

1. Root user.
2. System email
3. Alert Service (new UI only)
4. S.M.A.R.T.

The images below came from FreeNAS 11.1-U7 for the legacy UI screenshots and FreeNAS 11.2-U2.1 for the new UI screenshots.
