Notification not sent

tsmets

I configured Notification with a "one time password / Application password" from Google, using googleMail SMTP server over TLS/SSL …

The Logs contain trace that the mail have been sent (as indicated below)

Normal.
Your smtp server hung up:
[quote]Error: it was not possible to read line from the SMTP server: the server disconnected[/quote]
It didn't like receiver mails from your pfSense.

See mail server logs for more details.

@Gertjan
I can understand that some of the mails did not leave based on some the trace shown but there are also some line that finished with "OK"

???
Why didn't I receive something then ?

@tsmets:

…. but there are also some line that finished with "OK"

The OK you mentioned is the result of some (pfSEnse) PHP scripting that managed to 'drop' the mail "in the circuit" on a lower level in pfSEnse.
At that moment, pfSense considers the mail has been send.
NEVER EVER event think that this means that the mail will be received ;)

Many factors can make it happen that the mail won't make it.

You should start by look at the log of the mail server (on your LAN ? somewhere on the Internet ?) to see if the mail makes it up to there.

My mail provider is Google.
As I created an application password (16 characters), it reports some SMTP activity each time I push on send "TestMail". If I alter the password and resend a TEST mail … the System-log reports it all fine but the "Activity reported on the account" does not report any trace of the attempt.
Fishy ...
