email? - Fred - 08.05.2021

I am using the standard script to send email. LM5 v20191015.

No matter what host I set in server, I get an error about "string: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials c5sm15367699wrs.73 - gsmtp"

Why on earth would GOOGLE be there if I ask it to go to "sss" ???

How can I debug this?
I have tried all the combination of 'secure' found on the forum in various posts over the years; this is really confusing but in any case does not change anything since GOOGLE is always back as error.

Thanks for any help or pointers

function mail(to, subject, message)
-- make sure these settings are correct

local settings = {

-- "from" field, only e-mail must be specified here

from = '...',

-- smtp username

user = '...',

-- smtp password

password = '...',

-- smtp server

server = 'sss',

-- smtp server port

port = 465,

secure = 'tlsv12',

-- use STARTTLS mode

--starttls = true,

}

local smtp = require('socket.smtp')

if type(to) ~= 'table' then

to = { to }

end

for index, email in ipairs(to) do

to[ index ] = '<' .. tostring(email) .. '>'

end

-- message headers and body

settings.source = smtp.message({

headers = {

to = table.concat(to, ', '),

subject = subject,

['Content-type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8',

},

body = message

})

-- fixup from field

settings.from = '<' .. tostring(settings.from) .. '>'

settings.rcpt = to

return smtp.send(settings)
end

Hi,

Couple of things to check:

1) Make sure DNS and DG are set correct in the interface settings (otherwise you have no internet access)
2) Enable https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps on your gmail account (otherwise mail from machines is blocked by google)
3) Use these settings in the common functions:

Code:
-- send an e-mail
function mail(to, subject, message)
  -- make sure these settings are correct
  local settings = {
    -- "from" field, only e-mail must be specified here
    from = 'yourmail@gmail.com',
    -- smtp username
    user = 'yourmail@gmail.com',
    -- smtp password
    password = 'yoursecretpassword',
    -- smtp server
    server = 'smtp.gmail.com',
    -- smtp server port
    port = 465,
    -- enable tls, required for gmail smtp
    secure = 'tlsv1_2',
  }

  local smtp = require('socket.smtp')

  if type(to) ~= 'table' then
    to = { to }
  end

  for index, email in ipairs(to) do
    to[ index ] = '<' .. tostring(email) .. '>'
  end

  -- fixup from field
  local from = '<' .. tostring(settings.from) .. '>'

  -- message headers and body
  settings.source = smtp.message({
    headers = {
      to = table.concat(to, ', '),
      subject = subject,
      ['From'] = from,
      ['Content-type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8',
    },
    body = message
  })

  settings.from = from
  settings.rcpt = to
  res, err = smtp.send(settings)
  return res,err
end

4) Send a mail

Code:
subject = 'E-mail test'
message = 'Testing e-mail'
res, err = mail('yourrecipient@gmail.com', subject, message)
