What is wrong in my configuration?Since end of May/beginning of June Google switched to 2FA - maybe you should check that. Maybe you need for you pfsense a individual PWD that you can obtain from your Google-Account.

@fireodo 2FA is disabled in my Google account

But Google will no longer accept this. See here (example):

You have to enable 2FA and setup an App Password to use outbound SMTP now.

@jimp Thanks ... 2FA and App Password solved the problem
