Failed to send test email on oem console

[lweng]

Hi, I'm trying email notification from oem console, but failed. Here is what I did step by step
1) System > Configure SMTP Gateway

SMTP Mail Gateway: mail@yahoo.com
Sender's SMTP Mail Address: xds

2) System > Notification > Email > Email Preferences

Reciver's Email: xxx@yahoo.com
Subject Prefix: dbs

3) press "TEST'

result: Failed to send test email

4) Go to c:\oracle\ora81\sysman\log\oms.nohup check log

5) Test email outside the Enterprise Manager product to determine if the actual problem is with the SMTP

C:\> telnet mail@yahoo.com
Connecting To mail@yahoo.com...Could not open a connection to host on port 25: Connect failed
Looks the problem is outside of oem.

6) Download patch EM_22_1180760
Unzipped it to c:\temp

7) use OUI to apply it, I switched the soure path to c:\temp\EM_22_1180760\, destination dir

c:\orahome\ but the result is:

'There was a problem opening the staging area. Please make sure the 'Source' you have specified is valid.'

No idea why can't apply the patch and what should do next, please help. Thanks.

Yup, when you configure the smtp gateway it usually does not look like an email address, you have xxx"yahoo.com, this is an email address not an smtp gateway.
