can't get SMTP working to email log events
Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2023 8:17 am
I'm trying to use my gmail account to send emails when specified log events occur, but I am unable to get any email to send.
I have 2FA enabled on my gmail account, so I did make sure to create an app password within my gmail security settings to use in order to get around that.
Here are the settings I'm using to set up my email in ROS 7.11.2:
And this is the error I get when I try to send the test email (along with the settings in the "Send Email" window):
The email address in all 4 of the fields that are marked through is my valid, working email address; to rule out error, I even copied/pasted the email address from the gmail login screen, making sure there are no spaces/carriage returns at the beginning or end of it, and verified that it was working by actually logging in to gmail directly by deleting & re-pasting in the email that I copied from there.
