Sending Mail via Gmail Stopped - email

Our system was sending emails fine just until now.
I'm getting the following response. Can anyone help?
The error seems to be related to authentication, but password hasn't changed. Any advise would be appreciated.

Google blocked your ability to send mail until you verify your account. Visit the url contained in the error message to unlock your account. i.e. https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbu3xqqwDxkeiCBe55evYz8U5pozdCeuEWMf1echBlK4Ykmdot0LTgv1bDDQ_jnMs8GkFyw_ZAqrmojkAJQAXfzRevQObN8MhH8hmMSCtMMmVJsuX5z805SazSchBKmytkfBbrjWalI6rTnixz9_glL258Wjln_nWvFNhNevdanJ3CuUIsj9aRpExjUkygsDrQFixW-DeqU9pLzrsekK7uzb8zCWUHGgSUYrxNb4M_kxWIEsuyk

Turns out you need to allow less secure password or use App password. Alternatively, one can use Gmail OAuth. Google must have just changed its behavior.

Classis ASP sending to smtp.gmail.com doesn't work

I need to send email from my server to smtp.gmail.com using classic ASP.
I am using the ASPEmail component and have the latest version (5.4.0.6) aspemail64.
Everything I try gives an error.
1) Just user and password
mailer.host = "smtp.gmail.com"
mailer.Username = "someone#somewhere.org"
mailer.Password = "somepass"
This gives:
Err = 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.
2) TLS and port 587

Anyone get Classic ASPEmail64 working with smtp.gmail.com?
Thanks for the answers.
I got this figured out and this information may help someone else.
You have to have a SPF record in your DNS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
Once I put that in all the weird errors went away even with the gmail security setting turned back on.
It works now with the latest ASPEmail64 and these settings.
mailer.From = "someone#somewhere.com"
mailer.Username = "someone#somewhere.com"
mailer.Password = "password"
mailer.host = "smtp.gmail.com"
mailer.TLS = True
mailer.Port = 587

i wonder why i get this error...is this because i still using trial account ?
A clue to your solution lies in the error message specifically,
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754
Try following the "Troubleshoot" section there.
I've had this problem before and solved it using one of these steps mentioned in that page:
Sign in to your account from the web version of Gmail at
https://mail.google.com. Once you’re signed in, try signing in to the
mail app again.
Visit http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and sign in
with your Gmail username and password. If asked, enter the letters in
the distorted picture.

Grails mail plugin works locally but fails on server

I can't get the mail plugin for Grails to work properly on production server with the suggestions out there (such as checking for different versions of plugins)
With the same configuration it works in my local environment.
This is my Config.groovy
grails {
// other configs
mail {
host = "smtp.gmail.com"
port = 465
username = "xxx#gmail.com"
password = "secret"
props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true",

I know what mailAuthenticationException means, but this works perfectly on local environment, so it's not user/pass data, and the email was configured to allow less secure access on Gmail account. So there should be something wrong in the code.
Im using mail:1.0.7 and grails 2.4.4.
P.D.: I will try on commons email of apache and see what happens...

SMTP authentication failure while using SendGrid/Gmail

I am getting SMTP Authentication Failure on the server and the mail is getting send via the server SMTP only...
It appears to be a server configuration or related problem, but I am not sure.
This is the debug details:

While testing from my local system, this works and the email is being sent via sendgrid.me
Again, This may not be a SendGrid Problem, but if you have faced similar issue, Can you please tell me what is the problem here?
I am using CentOs and I have cPanel in the server. I believe we are using EXIM for mail server.
For anyone that comes across this in future and are using cpanel/whm, you need to 'disable' this option under 'SMTP Restrictions' in WHM.
I was able to resolve this.
The issue was my server was not allowing the use of external SMTP and using its own SMTP server. I changed the settings and now it works fine.
I am using centos 7 Finally it works!
I was getting this issue(tail -f /var/log/mailog):

Then i changed file /etc/postfix/main.cf in this way that added following lines into end of file

How to send email using simple SMTP commands via Gmail?

For educational purposes, I need to send an email through an SMTP server, using SMTP's fundamental and simple rules.
I was able to do that using smtp4dev. I telnet localhost 25 and and commands are:
I want to do the same thing, using Gmail SMTP server. However, it requires authentication and TLS. I can't figure out how to do that for Gmail. Here's a screenshot of telnet smtp.gmail.com 587:
I searched and found many links including Wikipedia's article about STARTTLS command. But I'm not able to use TLS and authenticate to Gmail's SMTP server using command line (or sending commands myself in programming languages). Can anyone help?
to send over gmail, you need to use an encrypted connection. this is not possible with telnet alone, but you can use tools like openssl
either connect using the starttls option in openssl to convert the plain connection to encrypted...
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.gmail.com:587 -crlf -ign_eof
or connect to a ssl sockect directly...
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -crlf -ign_eof
EHLO localhost
after that, authenticate to the server using the base64 encoded username/password
AUTH PLAIN AG15ZW1haWxAZ21haWwuY29tAG15cGFzc3dvcmQ=
to get this from the commandline:
echo -ne '\00user#gmail.com\00password' | base64
AHVzZXJAZ21haWwuY29tAHBhc3N3b3Jk
then continue with "mail from:" like in your example
example session:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -crlf -ign_eof
[... lots of openssl output ...]

Unfortunately as I am forced to use a windows server I have been unable to get openssl working in the way the above answer suggests.
However I was able to get a similar program called stunnel (which can be downloaded from here) to work. I got the idea from www.tech-and-dev.com but I had to change the instructions slightly. Here is what I did:
Install telnet client on the windows box.
Download stunnel. (I downloaded and installed a file called stunnel-4.56-installer.exe).
Once installed you then needed to locate the stunnel.conf config file, which in my case I installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel
Then, you need to open this file in a text viewer such as notepad. Look for [gmail-smtp] and remove the semicolon on the client line below (in the stunnel.conf file, every line that starts with a semicolon is a comment). You should end up with something like:
[gmail-smtp]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
Once you have done this save the stunnel.conf file and reload the config (to do this use the stunnel GUI program, and click on configuration=>Reload).
Now you should be ready to send email in the windows telnet client!
Go to Start=>run=>cmd.
Once cmd is open type in the following and press Enter:
telnet localhost 25
You should then see something similar to the following:
220 mx.google.com ESMTP f14sm1400408wbe.2
You will then need to reply by typing the following and pressing enter:
helo google
This should give you the following response:
250 mx.google.com at your service
If you get this you then need to type the following and press enter:
ehlo google
This should then give you the following response:
250-mx.google.com at your service, [212.28.228.49]
250-SIZE 35651584
250-8BITMIME
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XOAUTH
250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
Now you should be ready to authenticate with your Gmail details. To do this type the following and press enter:
AUTH LOGIN
This should then give you the following response:
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
This means that we are ready to authenticate by using our gmail address and password.
However since this is an encrypted session, we're going to have to send the email and password encoded in base64. To encode your email and password, you can use a converter program or an online website to encode it (for example base64 or search on google for ’base64 online encoding’). I reccomend you do not touch the cmd/telnet session again until you have done this.
For example test#gmail.com would become dGVzdEBnbWFpbC5jb20= and password would become cGFzc3dvcmQ=
Once you have done this copy and paste your converted base64 username into the cmd/telnet session and press enter. This should give you following response:
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
Now copy and paste your converted base64 password into the cmd/telnet session and press enter. This should give you following response if both login credentials are correct:
235 2.7.0 Accepted
You should now enter the sender email (should be the same as the username) in the following format and press enter:
MAIL FROM:<test#gmail.com>
This should give you the following response:
250 2.1.0 OK x23sm1104292weq.10
You can now enter the recipient email address in a similar format and press enter:
RCPT TO:<recipient#gmail.com>
This should give you the following response:
250 2.1.5 OK x23sm1104292weq.10
Now you will need to type the following and press enter:
DATA
Which should give you the following response:
354 Go ahead x23sm1104292weq.10
Now we can start to compose the message! To do this enter your message in the following format (Tip: do this in notepad and copy the entire message into the cmd/telnet session):
From: Test <test#gmail.com>
To: Me <recipient#gmail.com>
Subject: Testing email from telnet
This is the body
Adding more lines to the body message.
When you have finished the email enter a dot:
.
This should give you the following response:
250 2.0.0 OK 1288307376 x23sm1104292weq.10
And now you need to end your session by typing the following and pressing enter:
QUIT
This should give you the following response:
221 2.0.0 closing connection x23sm1104292weq.10
Connection to host lost.
And your email should now be in the recipient’s mailbox!
As no one has mentioned - I would suggest to use great tool for such purpose - swaks

I have been using swaks to send email notifications from nagios via gmail for last 5 years without any problem.
Based on the existing answers, here's a step-by-step guide to sending automated e-mails over SMTP, using a GMail account, from the command line, without disclosing the password.
Requirements
First, install the following software packages:
Expect
OpenSSL
Core Utils (base64)
These instructions assume a Linux operating system, but should be reasonably easy to port to Windows (via Cygwin or native equivalents), or other operating system.
Authentication
Save the following shell script as authentication.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Asks for a username and password, then spits out the encoded value for
# use with authentication against SMTP servers.
echo -n "Email (shown): "
read email
echo -n "Password (hidden): "
read -s password
echo
TEXT="\0$email\0$password"
echo -ne $TEXT | base64
Make it executable and run it as follows:
chmod +x authentication.sh
./authentication.sh
When prompted, provide your e-mail address and password. This will look something like:
Email (shown): bob#gmail.com
Password (hidden):
AGJvYkBnbWFpbC5jb20AYm9iaXN0aGViZXN0cGVyc29uZXZlcg==
Copy the last line (AGJ...==), as this will be used for authentication.
Notification
Save the following expect script as notify.sh (note the first line refers to the expect program):
#!/usr/bin/expect
set address "[lindex $argv 0]"
set subject "[lindex $argv 1]"
set ts_date "[lindex $argv 2]"
set ts_time "[lindex $argv 3]"
set timeout 10
spawn openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -crlf -ign_eof
expect "220" {
send "EHLO localhost\n"
expect "250" {
send "AUTH PLAIN YOUR_AUTHENTICATION_CODE\n"
expect "235" {
send "MAIL FROM: <YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS>\n"
expect "250" {
send "RCPT TO: <$address>\n"
expect "250" {
send "DATA\n"
expect "354" {
send "Subject: $subject\n\n"
send "Email sent on $ts_date at $ts_time.\n"
send "\n.\n"
expect "250" {
send "quit\n"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Make the following changes:
Paste over YOUR_AUTHENTICATION_CODE with the authentication code generated by the authentication script.
Change YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS with the e-mail address used to generate the authentication code.
Save the file.
For example (note the angle brackets are retained for the e-mail address):
send "AUTH PLAIN AGJvYkBnbWFpbC5jb20AYm9iaXN0aGViZXN0cGVyc29uZXZlcg==\n"
send "MAIL FROM: <bob#gmail.com>\n"
Lastly, make the notify script executable as follows:
chmod +x notify.sh
Send E-mail
Send an e-mail from the command line as follows:
./notify.sh recipient#domain.com "Command Line" "March 14" "15:52"
