Is your email notification working?
-
Yes - Frequently.
Maybe its landing in junk or some other?
Thanks for the reply!
My From e-mail address and Notification E-Mail address are both same Gmail address so it does not get blocked.
Also, I doubled checked spam folder. -
Hmmmm - username / password?
-
Error
534 : Message too big. -
What kind of message would pfsense send that is too big for gmail?
-
Dunno. Maybe in header info from the SSL ?
I won't test… Try smtps again after test with 25 and/or 587 ?But, smtps 465 seems a deprecated method. Go for 587 if you must avoid 25.

Hmmmm - username / password?
I've re-entered email and password saved and did test, no joy.
Went on https://mail.google.com and using same login info I was able to check my email. -

There is an answer there… Not sure if it will work for you.

Changed to port 587 and now I'm getting:
Feb 25 16:59:32 php-fpm[5995]: /system_advanced_notifications.php: Could not send the message to myusername@gmail.com -- Error: could not connect to the host "smtp.gmail.com": ?? -
Change back and try the solution in the link I sent previously.
-
The better supported receiver method is just port 25 with or without STARTTLS
-
Sending on port 25 may probably be a ISP nightmare depending on who you ISP is.
-
Oh, then the best method for the future is submission, 587 :D
-
perhaps, but mine is set up same as his with no problems. Quite odd.

Usually when I install new piece of hardware that supports email notifications I create for that specific customer new gmail account for notifications use only. Many times I need to do this to get it working properly

It's more reliable to use port 587 then 465. Many devices still do not support SSL.

kejianshi you are the man!
Its working now!
As suggested in that post, went to www.google.com/settings/security
and "Access for less secure apps" was turned off, turned it on and voila started working right away.
I searched google but never came across this setting.Thanks again!

The solution does not work if u have enabled "two-factor-authentification" (so we did) in your Google-Apps-account. The "apps-password" we have generated do not work, showing "Error: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.".
We tried several different generated apps-passwords, no luck.
Any hints?

Don't use two factor authentication?
