      465
      STMP over SSL/TLS
      from - notify@ <ourdomain>email - <me>@ <ourdomain>auth user - <me>@ <ourdomain>Auth pass - <my gsuite="" pass)<br="">email auth mech - Plain

        Since you're providing a user/pass, perhaps your email auth mechanism should be LOGIN?  You can also try using port 587.  Notifications work for me with Office365.  Port 587, uncheck SMTP over SSL/TLS, check Enable STARTTLS, email auth mech is LOGIN.  Works like a charm.

          Actually was getting denied due to apps having insecure apps signin being blocked…

          • had to go in and create another user in a sub org - vs moving my acct.
            from there set the permissions for that org to allow user to set to allow less secure apps.

          sign in from that user account -
          https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
          use the link there to > http://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
          and allow / change to allow.

          once I did that

          Changed the settings again to match that account and it went through without an issue..
          Also set a more strict password and documented that elsewhere though.

          GSuite was calling that method an insecure signin - once allowed it worked fine.

          (also changed to Login vs Plain - but that didn't help until I changed the insecure app allowed.

          new settings

          smtp-relay.gmail.com
          465
          STMP over SSL/TLS
          from - <notify other="">@ <ourdomain>email - <me>@ <ourdomain>auth user - <new>@ <ourdomain>Auth pass - <new gsuite="" pass)<br="">email auth mech - Login

          <new>= new dedicated user with insecure app access allowed on that one acct.

          • fwd email filter from that acct to my acct so I can monitor for issues with that acct.</new></new></ourdomain></new></ourdomain></me></ourdomain></notify>

            Oh right, I forgot you have to authorize apps to access your Google stuff.  Thanks for the reminder.
