I do not really understand in what an app password is different from any other password (though I never dared trying it with webmail access, which I do extremely seldom). Currently I use app password for *occasional* Gsuite checks from my alpine MUA (for spam folder once per day, or for mail "in transit" before it is fetchmailed). I could use the same app password with fetchmail, but I preferred to forward Gsuite mail to a third party and fetch it from there. I feel inclined IMVHO to thing G*** itself is a PITA. Just yesterday I added a cousin's address to a series of crontab for birthday wishes (used since years), and it bounced because of an SPF error. Apparently this was due to the fact mailx (the MUA used by crontab) issued a From of the form us...@ma...main (while alpine uses user@domain which passes SPF on the SMTP for the domain). A mailx -r cured it. -- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Corti 12 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "All that is google does not glitter Nor all who use alpine/procmail are lost" |
