  • Mail Server Problems

    From Sys64738@1:103/705 to All on Wed Jul 31 13:26:28 2024
    Ok. So, the deeper I dug, the more complex the problem became. I decided just to start over fresh and reinstalled sbbs. The problems I had before are gone except for one. I am unable to send email from my server to an outside server. I get this error:

    7/31 11:13:45a 2620 SEND/TLS [127.0.0.1] ERROR 'Received TLS alert message: Handshake failure' (-15) setting session active

    And the return email I get says:

    TZ: fed4
    vert.synchro.net reporting delivery failure of message
    from Sys64738 to -----------@gmail.com

    Reason:
    gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com replied with:
    "550 5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication d9443c01a7336-1fed7f9e5a3si153261305ad.442 - gsmtp"
    instead of the expected reply:
    "250 ..."

    Maybe this is the problem:

    Thanks for the reply, but I don't see where having an app password would help in this situation. Or may be I'm missing the point?

    Yeah, I think I had this backwards... You might need such a thing when attempting to send email *from* a gmail account, such as something
    automated like a cron job or similar. I now remember that you're
    trying to send *to* a gmail account.

    Hope you get it figured out.


    ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
