Email notifications via gmail smtp server fail test
Has anyone been able to make email notifications via smtp.gmail.com work with Backup & Recovery 11 latest verstion? I've tried everything including telnet testing ports and the test message always fails to logon to the server. Other applications are sending notifications from the same machine and via the same server no problem.

I finally figured out my problem with sending SMTP through Gmail. I have 2 step verification turned on in my google account. Using a regular password will not work in this case. You have to have google generate an APP onetime password. Entered that instead of my password and HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!! it worked. Here is a link for instructions on signing in using an APP Password. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
