      they don't see anything sensitive about my firewall.

      They won't. Neither do you.
      That is, they could see your pfSense WAN IPv4, but they already knew that.
      No passwords or other info like that is transmitted.
      I never saw secret stuff in these notification mails.
      Notification mails are what they are : they tell you to call home as there is an 'event'.
      Up to you to decide to check it out (using for example VPN).

      I re-entered the e-mail password

      pfSense doesn't / shouldn't use the gmail password.
      I had to generate a 'app password', a password created for an app or device. For every device that uses your gmail account, you have to create an unique password.
      The advantage is : you can revoke them in a central place, and no need to put your email credentials in every device, as that would be a big security issue.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @Darkk How about running your own, local email-server.

          Was just typing the same thing

          Notifications directly from the Netgate are actually rare here, but from the syslog server that that Netgate logs to - that's a whole different kettle of fish.

          Still, in some areas the logging to Netgate->syslog needs work. Also depends on what packages are being used.

            So, I upgraded to 23.0 9RC...first thing I noticed is that the Netmap harmless but ugly messages are gone.

              @GeorgeCZ58 Re the FreeRadius bug, you can manually edit the config file to recover: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14596

              Since it happens on upgrade (which uninstalls/reinstalls) itโ€™s likely to hit anyone who hasnโ€™t saved the default settings page.

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                Now getting this error. I dismissed it the first time thinking it's just a fluke. Now it happened again:

                00:00:00 PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/bin/mail_reports_generate.php, Line: 61, Message: Uncaught ValueError: exec(): Argument #1 ($command) cannot be empty in /usr/local/bin/mail_reports_generate.php:61
                Stack trace:
                #0 /usr/local/bin/mail_reports_generate.php(61): exec('', '')
                #1 {main}
                thrown

                  Figured out the e-mail issue. Apparently I had the command as being blank. Soon as I removed that it's working ok now.

                    Hmm, that feels like there should some input validation to prevent that. You should probably open a bug for it.
