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...
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.)
CrimpOn , yes, one of the things we tried was I used my Gmail account to send to my work email. That didn't work either. TC_in_Montana was able to use his email address to email to my gmail address, but he is on RBR960 not RBR850.
Another tiny difference. I am using port 465 for smtp.gmail.com
