I have tried to setup ssmtp to relay through gmail. root=my gmail address AuthUser=my gmail address AuthPass=my password FromLineOverride=YES mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 UseSTARTTLS=YES TLS_CA_FILE=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt I get this error: Authorization failed (534 5.7.14 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 145sm16287775qhb.20 - gsmtp) I am not using two step verification at this time. I can sign into my account just fine. Am I missing a step? Thanks Jerry

How do I add Oath 2.0 to either smmtp or sendmail. I dont care which. Thanks, Jerry

Is there any chance of switching to msmtp? That one still works well for me with gmail, and I cover its setup on a page I have about mutt at http://srobb.net/mutt.html#Sending -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
