R6400 gmail logs not working

I have yet to see a solution to the problem of sending logs via gmail.

Ports 465 & 587 to smtp.gmail.com don't work, and port 25 to aspmx.l.google.com doesn't work.

Anyone have a solutions?

  • I was trying to setup email notification for Readyshare backup, and I got that to work. So I put in the same values for the log files on the router, and voila it worked there also:

     

    Send to This E-mail address  your gmail address

    Your outgoing Mail server: smtp.gmail.com

    Outgoing port number 465

     

     

    My mail server requires authentication

    User Name  your gmail address

    Passowrd your gmail password

    I've been asking for proper gmail support for years (port 25 is blocked by my ISP).

     

    So far they've done nothing.  You can post it in the idea exchange here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home  Post a link here, so others can find it easily and vote for it.
