Smtp Client Questions

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hey DJ, I have the SMTP plugin a go (really looking forward to using this), I seem to have it configured correctly to use my gmail account for SMTP, but when I run a script to send an email, I get this:

Error on line 1: Failure sending mail.

This what I'm using:


ControlCommand("SMTP Client", Send, "[email protected]", "Bob Smith", "Test", "This is a test message")

Does anything look wrong to you?

Also, be sure you don't send more than 500MB a day to avoid having your account locked out.
Interesting I didn't know that, I google and found this:

Quote:

The daily limit sending via POP/IMAP connections (using a mail client such as Live Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird etc.) is 100 messages per rolling 24 hours. (NOT per day).

New or recent accounts will usually have lesser limits imposed, until their reputation over time is established.

It makes sense for google, free product for consumers.

Yeah, you're right, I did have to enable access for less secure devices on the Gmail side.
I read somewhere in some cases google can trigger an additional account verification through the web interface, the stmp stops working (stmp error with details) and you need to logon via web client.

It's all related to "less secure devices"

PTP, I have a Gsuite account, so may have higher limits (even though it is a legacy free account, not a commercial account).  The limit was listed in a link on the pop/imap settings page.

Jeramie, TLS is a type of encryption.
