Sendmail through Gmail SMTP no longer working?

Eggplant Functional
1

We were able to get emails from Eggplant Manager, but no longer can. I am only guessing at this point, but is it related to Less secure apps & your Google Account - Google Account Help ?

Has anyone else noticed any problems? Support?

Yes, this is likely the issue, but we recommend you follow up with Eggplant Support or the TCSM assigned to your account. It looks like Gmail is moving to the proprietary “Sign In with Google” authentication method, and that authentication method is not supported by Eggplant Manager.

I have contacted support. I was just wondering if anyone else here had run into any issues. FYI - the Manager email eventually came through, btu we are still having issues from Functional.

Hey @DSDeep,

In case you haven’t solved it.
You need to do the following and you can continue to send email via SMTP from a gmail account.
I followed this guide: How to enable SMTP settings for a Gmail inbox - eukhost)

  1. you need to activate 2FA/MFA for your account
  2. You need to activate IMAP
  3. you need to create an App specific Password under account > Security > 2FA
    Here is a script that works for me.
sendMail {
	To:"YOUrMail@gmail.com", 
	from:"YOUrMail@gmail.com", 
	smtp_host:"smtp.gmail.com",
	smpt_transport:"SSL",
	#smtp_type:"login", 
	smtp_user:"YOUrMail@gmail.com",
	smtp_password:getvaultvalue( "KarstenGmail"), // stored the password in the OS Credential valut
	smtp_port:"465 ",
	Subject:"test email send from Eggplant",
	body:the time
}

Cheers,
Karsten
