I am just puzzled. I have two Orbi systems emailing log files to me.&nbsp; I (just personally) do not like the way Netgear presented the email form:&nbsp;email account to go TOsmtp address of the sending accountsmtp port of the sending accountlogin of the sending accountpassword of the sending account&nbsp;Most of my other applications put the smtp address and smtp port after the sending email password and have the recipient after the sender.My other apps often allow sending to more than one recipient.

Any way to log what is actually being sent?The mail server is smtp-mail.outlook.com and port number 587, correct?I really wish more programmers would provide an option to see the actual password entered, rather than those stupid dots.I frequently make typing mistakes with my long passwords and cannot verify them visually.&nbsp;In the "old days", SMTP used port 25 and everything was sent as plain text. Capture the packets and learn all about it.With today's SSL, everything is encrypted.

Yes. That's the server &amp; port #. It got erased when I pasted it in.&nbsp;

Searching for "Authorization failed (535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful" turns up many hits, such as:

This is an existing account that "works", correct?

I actually set up a (free) GMail account specifically to send Orbi logs. Have never had a Hotmail account.

Still getting[email failed] ssmtp: Authorization failed (535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p, Wednesday, February 24, 2021 15:37:47&nbsp;using&nbsp;&nbsp;smtp.gmail.com&nbsp; port 587&nbsp;I even tried&nbsp; Less secure app access but it still doesn't work&nbsp;
