Hello all, I'm trying to send email with smtp, and I'm authenticating with the same username and password that I can use to successfully log in to webfaction's webmail, but when I try it with smtp it fails:
And I get this:
I have also noticed that although I created an email address for "twneale@twneale.webfactional.com" in the control panel and sent up an autoresponder, it doesn't seem to be working. I also set up another email address with an autoresponder, and that one does work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! asked 06 Nov '11, 13:30 twneale |
It is because Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standards (mentioned on their support page). You can however, turn on/off this safety feature by going to the link below: Go to this link and select Turn On https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps Moreover google block an ip when you try to send a email since a unusual location, so, you can unblock in the next link https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563 and clicked in accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha .

Try just using twneale as your smtp.login ID. You shouldn't need @twneale.webfaction.com
Thanks, that solved my problem.
