Are you using a service account or a normal Gmail setup? If you're struggling to get set up it's always worth starting with the simplest method and getting that working first.
Thanks for getting back to me. I am using just the standard gmail setup using my workspace account. No service account. I created the project in google and even did web and desktop app ones and copied the ids over but no joy.
For the config entry under the account entry I have tried using my email address and also just the @domain part for the info in the brackets.
Does the entry need to be @gmail.com? My domain of course isn't a @gmail.com.
I've tried using telnet to do a test to the smtp server and all the commands but the proxy just doesn't try to authenticate. I could try using another of my normal @gmail.com accounts but I do think it would still give me the same results. Nothing in my firewall is blocking the attempts to google or anything along those lines.
What SMTP login method are you using? (If you can tell me the actual commands you're using via telnet, even better)
Hi Simon,
I got it to work and it was of course a ME issue and not the script.
Just for the readers this is the long winded solution to my issue.
1) I wanted to make sure my project in Google was working so following Google's test of OAuth via python I was able to get a prompt for verification of my login.
2) I was not using the correct SMTP commands via telnet for my test to your proxy server. The commands I was using was for a normal ASCII server. I had to encode my login and password via base64. Once I did that the proxy server prompted me with the web login for Google I did my authentication and had no issues after that sending mail via the proxy server with my SMTP server setup. I had to adjust my emailproxy.config once or twice but in the end got it right.
For information purposes using telnet:
telnet <your ip/dns name of your proxy server> 2465 ( am using google )
EHLO
Thanks for following up – this is what I suspected might be happening, so I'm glad you found the cause.
Just for the record: none of the SMTP AUTH methods use plaintext usernames or passwords – base64 encoding is required in all cases. RFC 4954 has some examples that might be useful.
I have tried on Windows, Ubuntu and via python and I still get the same errors and I am sure I am just missing something really simple. I am not getting any prompts to authorize the oAuth either via cli or on the app.
In the logs I am getting the following but trying to track it down is not giving me any leads.
Doing SMTP to Google using the port 2465 that is in the config file. I am using my workspace account which is of my own domain but it is going through Google of course.
Here are the log entries:
<-- b'530-5.7.0 Authentication Required. For more information, go to\r\n' <-- b'530-5.7.0 Authentication Required. For more information, go to\r\n' <-- b'530-5.7.0 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError kd3-20020a05622a268300b0042e09c6b82dsm2181889qtb.24 - gsmtp\r\n'
Doing some searching is not coming up with anything. I do have the project in my workspace for the API and have the client_id and client_secret
I don't have an @gmail entry in my config file but something like the example below. I've also tried the advance google entry as well and no joy.
[myuser@mydomain]
Hopefully it is something simple that i am missing.
Thanks.
