Email alert via Google

[thedirtmerchant]

I've gotten my regular alert emails all the way until 6/6/2022.
I didn't realize anything was amiss until I logged in to check something and there was 1 alert of an unreadable sector,
but no email.

I'm checking out the Email Alerts, and everything looks fine.
But, I get

[EAUTH] Authentication error (535): b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

So, I changed my password, thinking maybe I had changed it back in June and forgotten about the server.
New password.
Same result.

Any thoughts?

Please provide the email configuration. How does the email test behave?

So, do I give up on email alerts to a gmail address, or is there something I can do about it?

You can send email to a google account, you just cannot send via a google account, because google disabled plaintext passwords even for TLS encrypted connections. Pick a different free email provider for sending. Or run your own mail relay in a jail.
