      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?

                        Have you tried setting up relay instances? There are limitations if you're on a dynamic IP, but they work well.

                          Hi
                          I also have two  factor authentication enabled but unable to send email.
                          I disabled it and enabled access to less secure apps now while m able to relay emails but all are landing in my Gmail address not in mailbox which I specified in  Notification E-Mail address. No email is being sent there. I tried multiple addresses.
