|
I have 3 scheduled VV jobs that run every morning at 0301, 0320 and 0340. Each job sends email on completion. This was working fine until yesterday morning (23 July 2014).
VV log reports:
[ERROR] There was no response from the server.
If I change Port to 465, VV log reports:
[ERROR] The RCPT command failed. The specified account does not exsist. - 530 5.5.1 h t t p : //support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 x9sm9163396qas.26 - gsmtp
username@gmail.com is a valid account that is working with thunderbird and firefox. |

Hi, the settings look alright. Myself I am using smtp.gmail.com on port 587 with TLS. Only difference is that for user name I am using just username without @gmail.com and then the password.
Is there a new program / antivirus, firewall, firewall rule blocking access to port 587 since yesterday?

Changing the authentication username to username (without @gmail.com) doesn't help.
The last change I made on this computer was an Adobe Air update on 17 July. I have no idea what Norton might have done behind the scenes but I don't see anything suspect in its firewall rules.
VV will successfully send email if configured with port 587 on a different smtp server. I suppose I could use this server as a workaround, but would prefer to stick with gmail. |

It's working again now. It must have been a temporary issue with Google GMail smtp. I am using :
- Send notification e-mail after execution to myuser@gmail.com from myuser@gmail.com. Use SMTP server smtp.gmail.com on port 587 (Send e-mail on execution error)
- Authenticate using name and password. User name: myuser@gmail.com, password: ****
- Use Secure Connection (SSL/TLS)
thanks

Looks like there's a new settings to activate in GMail if one wants to sends e-mails via SMTP (which is what ViceVersa does).
Google wants email clients to implement OAuth2.0-based authentication, instead of using a username/password with the POP, IMAP, or SMTP protocol (that's the standard for desktop e-mail clients like Thunderbird or ViceVersa). OAuth 2.0 requires the email client to launch a browser to display a HTML form provided by Google and then use a token that it returns.
To still allow using POP, IMAP, or SMTP to send e-mails with GMail (which is fine), you'll need to enable the settings : enable access for less secure apps
