Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux SMTP Relay Issue With Gmail

[Cody A. <ald...@gm...>]

Michael,

I set the user.conf as suggested with my email address. I set the smtp
domain to gmail.com. I tried TLS on port 587 (and check the cert). I
enabled access to less secure apps. Still get the same "invalid email
address" when testing relay. Yes, I confirmed several times that my email
address is correct. Confirmed password too.

Any suggestions as to what to try next?

Thanks,

Cody
