Hi all, which service are you using for sending e-mails from your mikrotik device? I’ve been using gmail but smtp is not working anymore… Looking for a free alternative.
Whoever is your email provider (of the address you use as sender), their SMTP server is the right one, you can’t just use other servers and expect them to work, not anymore in 2022.
First, you can still use the so-called “app password” with gmail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en-GB
/tool e-mail
set address=smtp.googlemail.com from=“SomeTik <my-address@gmail.com>” password=wedrtumlgtifurin port=587 start-tls=yes user=my-address@gmail.com
Second, you can use a Telegram bot to send notifications, there are several topics about that here on the forum.
app passwords did the trick, thanks!
The best free email services are Gmail, Outlook, and Mail. However, I like Gmail the best because it allows you to quickly find the message you need. Gmail’s technology enables you to protect anyone who starts a mailbox from spam. The blocking will happen before the email arrives in your inbox. I also have an email account that gets malicious emails all the time, and I have to check words for spam with https://folderly.com/blog/spam-fix/how-to-do-spam-testing-in-2022 to avoid getting caught by scammers. You may think it does not matter, but spam is only increasing.
