Paul,

I managed to find a solution in this instance.

In order to have the alarm notification work:

- SMTP profile must be configured with a hostname, but no username or password.

- Alarm Pipeline Notification Block must have the username in the from address.

Following this set-up, it will allow the server to send emails via the notification pipeline without a password.
