AMTWebAdmin.log:

This error points to a problem with the mail settings - verify your IP,port, etc. with your mailservice provider. AMETHYST will simply use the settings provided to send the e-mail to.

[2011-07-28 11:11:01] Version [1.6.3.18]Email, error setting up IdSMTP : 5..7.1 Client was not authenticated

The SMTP (mail) server is not allowing it to send the error notification e-mail.
Make sure that the administrators can receive the critical error notification e-mails.
Check SMTP mail server settings.
