In my case it was Monday night that stuff stopped being able to use several different G-Mail accounts (as opposed to 30 May). However, yesterday added 2 factor authentication to three different G-Mail accounts and added app specific passwords (make sure you select Email on the google account security page). Then updated almost 20 devices (including three Mikrotik routers) to use the appropriate app specific password, and they are all working just fine.
/tool e-mail
set address=smtp.gmail.com from=RB750r2-2 password=redacted port=587 \
start-tls=yes user=redacted@gmail.com
I don’t recall anymore when it was but there was a point where dns name could not be used (or my config was wrong then ).
So I used the IP address instead.
Just tested again with ROS7, works as well using smtp.gmail.com.
I had a related issue recently – I was dealing with a ‘Cannot Verify Email Existence’ problem, which was a nightmare since I use email daily. After some digging, I found that the first step is to double-check your email address for errors. Also, if there’s a delivery error message, verifying the recipient’s email address is crucial. For Gmail users, following Gmail Help’s instructions is a good idea. Checking your mail server settings and DNS entries is vital for smooth email operations. Contacting your email provider’s support can sometimes clear up any configuration issues.
I stumbled upon a helpful article providing straightforward steps to tackle these email issues. If you’re interested, you can see it here.
