No matter what i try I am unable to send email alerts from my RPi.
I keep getting the error Email alert failed (unable to login to SMTP server)
Allow access from less secure apps option in GMail has been enabled.
Using the exact same settings on the Windows version it works perfectly.
It's a brand new RPi 3B running Raspbian Stretch. I've tried doing a fresh install of both Raspbian and DSLStats but still getting the same error.
I've tried everything i can think of, and every bit of advice i can find online, but I'm out of ideas.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be missing?

I have is running ok on my 3B
Port 25 unencrypted.
-
my pi3 is setup as attached.
-
I've tried port 587, 465, makes no difference.
They all work from Windows, but nothing works from the Pi.

It's definitely not my SMTP settings in DSLStats

Have you tried the libssl-dev install thing. I am sure I had to do that in the past before it worked.

Done that already, didn't make a difference.

Well, no idea what or how or why but it's working now.
I ran 'sudo ./dslstats' to see if it was permission related.
It loaded dslstats with a blank config.
I went straight to the alerts tab, entered my info and hit test.
The Event Log showed "Email alert sent: "Alert: Test alert".
Bingo, email received successfully.
I closed this instance of dslstas.
I then double clicked the dslstats icon, and selected execute in terminal.
My previous configuration was still there.
I went straight to the alerts tab. The email details field was already completed with the same details that didn't work previously.
I hit the test button.
The Event Log showed "Email alert sent: "Alert: Test alert".
Email successfully received.
No idea why it's now working. I set this up weeks ago and have made multiple attempts to get this working.
edit: looking in my routers logs i can see....
10/04/2018-21:50:49 TCP 192.168.1.122:51172 ----- 64.233.184.108:587
192.168.1.122 being my Pi
I assume 64.233.184.108 is Gmail.
There was nothing showing in the logs before, so something was preventing it even trying.
Cheers for the help Ned
