Problem with sending email

Wed Sep 28, 2022 2:53 pm

Hello to all,

I am getting a security warning from my provider Gmail that it will be blocked because emails were sent from different regions or countries. The following problem: We have a lot of customer routers that we support and for a failure we have created a backup script that sends the backup via email. Unfortunately, I now get these warnings from Google. Is there a trick or another provider? The number of routers is just under 400.

It's already quite a while Google has changed this behavior !

You need to go into the gmail account you want to use for sending.
Then
-Security
-Signing in to Google
-app password

Setup a unique password for the application you want to be able to use the mail service.
That may become 400 times ...

That password you need to use then for sending mail from the correct device.
I don't think you can reuse an app password on multiple devices but you can always try (it wouldn't be logical if it was possible, to me at least).

Alternative (I think):
set up your own mail server and let that one connect to the gmail account for sending.
Then you only need 1 app password.
