      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.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        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 security

          Am 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.
