You could also try to change the System => Advanced => Notifications for a gmail email address - I know that that one will work - it does for me.
Alright. I have created an gmail e-mail account and tried to send the test e-mail after i have set the following configuration:
I have followed the instruction which are given on the following site which you have given me:

According to the English doc the URL is smtp.gmail.com
See point 2 : I don't understand why you didn't enter a login mail and password .....
These days, you couldn't and you shouldn't send and receive mails without identification/authentication. -

When you use your gmail address and password, pfSense should tell you this (using a red background) :
Could not send the message to gertjan@kroeb.me -- Error: LOGIN authentication failure [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 534, response: 5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at 5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=InvalidSecondFactor v8sm35044038wra.79 - gsmtp)]
It's URL reading time again.
You have to generate a special password for your pfSense Notification setup.
One done :

Done. I set an App password in my gmail account and take this in my pfSense configuration. Unfortunately, i received the same error.

Show these again :
and compare with mine ....
Btw :
means : your pfsense can't connect to smtp.gmail.com (port 465). You can't connect - which is different as being refused for bas user or password.
Some one is blocking you somewhere in between - upstream. -
Do a simple check to that port...
If pfsense can resolve and talk to that port you should get back successful test
You can test ipv6 as well
You could also do a packet capture while your testing or trying to send the mail to what is going on
Here is sniff while testing port - you can see it opens syn, and then closes the connection with fin

Hi Guys!
Finally, I received the test e-mail and the report emails with Gmail as the e-mail server.
I've tried to understand how e-mail communication works, but I do not understand (maybe because I'm not the e-mail specialist on earth ^^), what differences there are in the processes you already have here have explained ...
Not using port 25 = standard port and not TLS encrypted
test mail is not report = both uses different code / language
auth with e-mail and pw = to increase the securityAm i right with this?
So the next step is to configure the mail server on port 465 / TLS and configure auth with name and pw?Thanks and best regards!

Correct, not many home isp allows 25 out, if they do allow it - its only to their smtp servers on their network.
To send to gmail use 465, and setup an app password.

Good info, I'll have to try this tonight.
