emailing logs
Hello, I have tried and failed to setup my R8000 to email me the log files. I'm using gmail and have set up the account,.
In the log file when I click send logs I get the following message "[email failed] internet connection is dropped"
I have searched the forums and can't find an aswer (seams to be a lot of older posts)
smpt.gmail.com
port 465

You misspelled GMail's SMTP server. It is smtp.gmail.com. If port 465 doesn't work, then try port 587.
You can also try aspmx.l.google.comat port 25. No username or password is required, but you can only send to GMail or Google Apps users.

So a bit more playing with this.
aspmx.l.google.com on port 25 works
However its marked as spam and can only be sent to gmail..
So I have tired to setup smtp.gmail.com port 465 this doesn't work.
I have set up as per the instructions but it doesn't work this is the screen grab from the log after I tell it to send the log via email.
So I tried port 587 different error message this time...
Ideally I don't want to have to use aspmx.l.google.com as gmail thinks it's spam.
Any suggestions ?
