smokegrub Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Tags will not send email notifications to my Google mail account-says the account does not exist. Test emails sent to that account from Apple mail work fine as do emails sent from my Cox account. Any help?
GQuack Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I’m having a similar issue with text notifications that have been working fine and now stopped. I can send a test text message via the console to my phone with no issue but when executed from a program, do not get sent.
smokegrub Posted December 21, 2020 Author Posted December 21, 2020 I think the proble, is with Google. I will wait a couple of weeks and test again. Good luck with your problem. \

Good luck with your problem. \ Access your google mail account via the webserver and see if there is a flag or email stuck in there, asking for permision, you need to approve. Google keeps changing it's permision and security ideas and dumping crap on their users. Then if you don't constantly monitor their latest idea you are left behind with some broken service. Google is a marketing company first, and doesn't really give two hoots about anybody's feelings or satisfaction, that doesn't forward their quest, at that moment in time.

smokegrub Posted December 21, 2020 Author Posted December 21, 2020 No success with that Larry. Weird. The tags still say they cannot send an email to my gmail account because "it does not exist". Do you know if others can send email from tags to a gmail account?

I can't remember the details anymore but there is a flag in the setting for the gmail account available via the same gmail webpage settings that allows "foreign accounts" to use or access your email servers. I don't know why this would suddenly give you problems, as google added this new security concept a few years ago, but it would be worth looking for inside the setup options of your gmail account. I know I had to enable the switch a year or two ago.

There may be some setting or clues in this setting realm under gmail webpage settings. Edited December 21, 2020 by larryllix 1
GQuack Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I figured out my issue. The configuration entries for my email settings had “disappeared” so I re-entered those and re-entered the text message entries as well. Both working now as expected. 1
smokegrub Posted December 23, 2020 Author Posted December 23, 2020 I have come to the conclusion that my ISP must have blocked the CAO tags being sent by gmail. I will get it touch with Cox as soon as possible and see if I can get this sorted out. Thanks for taking the time to try to help me.
Geddy Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I'm not sure how the emails are setup for the Tags, but are you trying to send emails from your own address to a Gmail address or using the Google Gmail SMTP? If trying to use Gmail SMTP make sure you're not using Port 25 (often default port for SMTP) as it appears to be blocked by Cox (and most other ISPs). It's that it wasn't a secure enough port option for people sending emails from ISPs and resulted in a lot of spam. The new(er) port would be 587. There's also a suggestion to use port 2525.
smokegrub Posted February 12, 2021 Author Posted February 12, 2021 Problem resolved itself. Don't have a clue why/how.
