Hi Folks,

I want to use gmail to send myself backup logs, since my mail server is not available during backup. I continue to get a credential error, but the credentials I am using are correct. I suspect that this is the result of "two-factor" authentication, which I am not using on gmail, but which has caused the "allow less secure access" to be disabled. I could use my ISP and configure an "Upstream SMTP-Smart Host", but then I have a detail to remember and reconfigure should I ever change my ISP.

Is anybody doing this successfully, without submitting to "Google Workspaces" or "Microsoft Office 365"?

    A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.
