Sending Email Via GMAIL

Hey Folks,

I’ve searched for issues on this discourse for GMAIL Problems, but it hasn’t helped.

I’m trying to send email from my Gitea Server via a gmail account that does not have 2FA enabled.

Here are my settings in the app.ini file:

[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST = smtp gmail com:587
FROM = example@gmail.com
USER = example@gmail.com
PASSWD = MyPassWord
MAILER_TYPE = smtp
IS_TLS_ENABLED = true
HELO_HOSTNAME = my hostname com

(sorry I had to pull out the ‘.’ in the HOST and HELO_HOSTNAME as discourse was not letting me post more than 2 links)

The error message i recieve when i try to send a test email is the following:

Failed to send a testing email to ‘MyEmailAddress@gmail’: gomail: could not send email 1: NewClient: tls: first record does not look like a TLS handshake

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
