WAC124 emailing logs fails

I have enabled emailing of logs from my WAC124, however, it always returns a failed to send error:

SMTP error from remote server for TEXT command, host: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (xxxx) reason: 550-5.7.1 [xxxx] Messages missing a valid messageId header are not accepted.

I have configured to send via my gmail account.

Any thoughts?

    These things can be very picky. smtp servers have to play ball and with added security, and things like "2FA", what works one day can fall over the next.

     

    Several conversations here:

     

    Search - NETGEAR Communities – gmail smtp

     

    To add to the problems, some routers play nicer than others.

     

    You may find it easier to seek out a friendlier SMTP server.

     

    I use:

     

    smtp-mail.outlook.com

     

    Just set up a free account.

     

    You can send the reports to the address of your choice.

     

    Maybe other people have better options.

     

    If you want advice from people who use the WAC124 this might be a better place:
