Hi all.

This used to work but no longer.

Never use xtra email myself but did have this set up to email system notifications to my gmail address.

Sunday afternoon thing to see if I can get it going again....

Do I need to get my xtra email sorted to do this - pretty sure it got locked at some stage, and now they have the email migration going on.

Was using my xxxx@xtra.co.nz, on port 465, with SMTP of send.xtra.co.nz

Wondered if there was a way to this using my gmail address possibly as an alternative?

Many thanks

Mark

You make application passwords for things like this with gmail when you have 2 factor enabled.

 

Annoying thing I find is you cant go in and view them later, or limit what the passwords can do, only delete them and recreate them. It would be a lot more reliable than using xtras server.

 

And yes, you can email yourself thru gmails smtp, better still email youraddress+somethingelse@gmail so that they can be filtered easier.
