Sending logs by email not working for me
I have not gotten an email of the log for a long time. Today I noticed 2 error entries about 3 hours ago: [Internet disconnected] Saturday, Nov 05,2022 15:46:24 [email failed] -5.7.9 Application-sp...
Hi TC_in_Montana , thanks - I Had 587 originally, I'll go back to it. I do have an App password, which Google says is for apps that can't handle 2FA:
The link you sent was a little different for Outlook than what I am doing as far as I can tell, but I should have it correct.
If you can't get email logging working again just disable it. Logging fix hasn't come thru nor has been fully addressed, even on the 9 series so I turn off email logging and even Local logging has been disabled as well. I recommend not using it until NG can address these issues and fix them.
I did disable it. TC_in_Montana tried about 100 things and it did not work.
What happens when the log fills (or should I say what is SUPPOSED to happen) if there is no email - should it just clear the log?

The Orbi log is a "rolling" type of log. When it fills available space, the oldest entry is deleted every time a new entry is added.
Perhaps this is irrelevant (sorry).......
When Google finally required that application specific passwords, I did as the articles describe. Created one on Google then pasted it into the password field on the Email screen. Works fine.
(here's the irrelevant part) When I set up email alerts, I had messages come from one GMail account and go to a different GMail account. Are you using the same GMail account for both "to" and "from"? (Cannot imagine why that would make a difference, but in the Orbi-sphere, sometimes the oddest details trip me up.)
For any gmail configurations, this should be working:
Yeah, tried port 465. Also, been on 2FA for a long time, and I have a 16 char app password.
