Smtp Tutorials




Hi,First of all, thanks for the tutorial.I tried to combine smtp and firebase real time database in the same board, and the code is not working (used the ones that are provided in this website). Does the board have any constrains or can smtp and sending data to firebase realtime database work together?


Hello,thank you for a great tutorial, I learned a lot from it (and other tutorials on your site)! I am trying to combine this project with WifiManager and the deep sleep function with the idea to set up the wifi credentials, collect additional variables (using spiffs) via phone and then run the code and send periodic email notifications. The three projects run well in isolation and the code compiles and runs. After executing the mail sending function though, I get following error message:Corrupted dir pair at 0x0, 0x1E (28343) esp_littlefs: mount failed, (-84)E (28344) esp_littlefs: Failed to initialize LittleFS


To send files via email, you should save them in the ESP8266 filesystem. You can use SPIFFS or LittleFS. To upload files to the filesystem using Arduino IDE, you need to install a Filesystem Uploader Plugin. Read one of the following tutorials and install the plugin depending on the filesystem you want to use:


/* Set the session config */#ifdef DBG_MAILSerial.println("\n *** Using default Mailserver");#endifsession.server.host_name = smtp_server;session.server.port = smtp_ssl_port.toInt();session.login.email = smtp_user;session.login.password = smtp_pwd;session.login.user_domain = "";

Thanks for the promp response and sorry for the late comeback, but I found out that at the place where i was trying to set this up smtp is a no no, it has been disabled on the network for security reasons.


Thank you.Unfortunately I get this:Nov 8 12:27:41 ODIN2 postfix/error[20109]: EDB1E77006EE: to=, orig_to=, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced ([smtp.gmail.com]:587)


Hello sir, thank you for your great tutorials, i know this is not the right place for this but unfortunely im a windows user with xampp server, i configured my php.ini and my sendmail.ini for gmail smtp, my php mail sender script says mail successfully sent, but i dont recive any thing, i tried all possible sollutions on internet but still got this problem! so maybe you cn helep me ? PLEAZEEE!


Thank you for this tutorial! I got my gmail smtp on postfix to work, Quick question which I really pray u have an answer for it! How do I configure fail2ban for postfix if I followed your tutorial? thank you!!!


Another case, is postfix+gmail setup is present at work machine but postfix has smtpd_recipient_restrictions enabled with setting reject_non_fqdn_sender. Remove reject_non_fqdn_sender so your (senders) IP/FQDN will not be verified.


Host: smtp.gmail.comPort: 587 (or 465 using SSL encryption)Username: Your Gmail account email address ([email protected])Password: You will need to generate an app password in GoogleEncryption: TLS


If you have encountered this error, then this is mostly because your server cannot connect to smtp.gmail.com on port 587. This is mostly because your hosting provider has some strict firewall rule which is blocking your server to connect to any other external server over SMTP port 587.


All of the mail related code in Twisted exists beneaththe twisted.mail package. More specifically, everythinghaving to do with the SMTP protocol implementation is defined inthe twisted.mail.smtp module.


In the previous example we defined getMailExchange toreturn a string representing the mail exchange host for a particulardomain. While this was a step in the right direction, it turns outnot to be a very big one. Determining the mail exchange host for aparticular domain is going to involve network traffic (specifically,some DNS requests). These might take an arbitrarily large amount oftime, so we need to introduce a Deferred to represent theresult of getMailExchange . smtpclient-10.tac redefines itthusly:


Because getMX returns a Record_MX objectrather than a string, we do a little bit of post-processing to get theresults we want. We have already converted the rest of the tutorialapplication to expect a Deferredfrom getMailExchange , so no further changes arerequired. smtpclient-11.tac completesthis tutorial by being able to both look up the mail exchange host forthe recipient domain, connect to it, complete an SMTP transaction,report its results, and finally shut down the reactor.

In the example, I'm creating a new SmtpClient which is the key class when needing to communicate with SMTP servers. The class accepts the hostname (smtp.gmail.com used as an example but the value will depend on what service you pick) in the constructor. Most SMTP servers expect you to use port 587 through a secure connection that is set up using the Port, Credentials, and EnableSsl properties. You need to replace username with your full username (typically the email) and password with your password. In the last line, I call the Send-method. Replace email with your full email address and recipient with the full email address of the person who should receive the email.


If you use smtp as a filter expression, you'll find several results. In cases where you find STARTTLS, this will likely be encrypted SMTP traffic, and you will not be able to see the email data.


Keep in mind the Wireshark display filter is case-sensitive. When searching spambot traffic for unencrypted SMTP communications, I often use smtp contains "From: " as my filter expression as shown in Figure 16.


The following script will allow you to send an email via the Gmail SMTP server. However, Google will not allow logging in via smtplib because it has flagged this type of login as "less secure". To solve this, go to while you're logged in to your Google account, and "Allow less secure apps". See the screenshot below.

If your settings are not listed below please contact your email/web hosting provider or web designer, or Google e.g. "myhost smtp settings". If you're still unsure what settings to use please contact support.


At this point, there have been many great tutorials written about configuring Drupal's SMTP Authentication Support with Gmail. However, these tutorials are out dated, and do not take into account Google's added security settings. In this tutorial I'll show you how to configure Drupal's SMTP Authentication Support module and update Gmail's security setting.


Hello very good tutorial, but I want to ask why the imap port does not work, the smtp with port 587 works perfect but the imap 143 does not work, RainLoop says MailSo-Net-Exceptions-SocketReadTimeoutException (NetClient.php 514), I appreciate if you have any idea what may be happening and how it can be solved, thanks 2ff7e9595c
