SMTP Server Error with GMail

[JohnnyManziel]

Hello, Preliminary Docs

I confirm that I have read the CONTRIBUTING guide before opening this issue.

I confirm that I have read the FAQ before opening this issue. motionEyeOS Version

I am running motionEyeOS version 20201026 Board Model: Raspberry PI 0+ Camera: Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1 NOIR

When I try to set up the Motion Notification with Gmail I consistently get this error: "Notification email failed: check SMTP server name!"

Here is what I have tried to fix it: -different SMTP port numbers: 25, 465 (w/o TLS), 587 (w/TLS) -SMTP Account and Address with and without the @gmail.com at the end -two factor authentication for the gmail account -allow less safe apps turned on -using a user generated password

Here is the error I get in my log: 1970-01-11 04:36:20: [sendmail] ERROR: failed to send mail: [Errno -2] Name or service not known Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/motioneye/sendmail.py", line 225, in on_message File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/motioneye/sendmail.py", line 53, in send_mail File "usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 256, in init File "usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 317, in connect File "usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 292, in _get_socket File "usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 557, in create_connection gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Here are the settings I use in the Motion Notifications: Send an Email: On Email Address: address@gmail.com SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Port: 587 SMTP Account: address (no @gmail.com) SMTP Password: password (app generated) From Address: address@gmail.com Use TLS: On Attached Pictures Time Span: 30 seconds

Thank you, my password for login to gmail and on motioneyeos were the same, and I ensured that I applied before testing. Still no luck.

SMTP Account is WITH @gmail.com.

I have tried that with and without the @gmail.com and no luck either way, thanks.

If you are using motionEye20200606 on any device (since you didn't answer any of the standard questions) please upgrade to dev20201026 or downgrade to 20190911 (Unless you are using a Pi4B, in which case just upgrade to 20201026)

SMTP Account: address (no @gmail.com) needs to be WITH @gmail.com

SMTP Password: password (app generated) Needs to be the one you use in your web browser to access your account. motionEyeOS doesn't use the Google Gmail API.
