Not receiving email notification on gmail

[sagar0121]

Hi,

I have edited the settings as below

  - SMTP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED=true
  - SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
  - SMTP_PORT=465
  - SMTP_USE_TLS=true
  - [email protected]
  - SMTP_PASSWORD=YourEmailPassword
  - [email protected]
  - [email protected]

I'm getting an error like below

I have checked in the forums it is mentioned that Gmail SMTP port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS), so I changed to 587, I got the below message.

Did you ever get this to work? I'm in the same boat and have tried every combination of gmail relay server with tls and no tls i can think of.

If you are getting the "Connection Timed Out" error than it is very likely that your VPS provider is blocking out port 465

For anyone having this issue, Google has changed some things in the authentication part and you need to use an app password instead of your account's password. After that, the notifications will work fine. More info on how to do it can be found here https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

PS: No need to change your ports in the config file - the default works fine

@sagar0121 @Smorgashboard I added more notification services in my rewrite https://github.com/adamjsturge/xsshunter-go feel free to check it out, email should also work but I find discord, slack, and telegram more convenient.
