Just Me Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hey! I'm using unRAID 6.3.5 and I would like to use my yahoo account to send notifications. But after I've set up my account in unRAID the test fails: Test result: Authorization failed. The system log says that username or password are invalid: Sep 25 15:29:25 NAS sSMTP[13390]: Creating SSL connection to host Sep 25 15:29:25 NAS sSMTP[13390]: SSL connection using ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 Sep 25 15:29:28 NAS sSMTP[13390]: Authorization failed (535 5.7.0 (#MBR1212) Incorrect username or password.) But I'm 100% sure, that user and password are correct. I've tried copy & paste and I've tried to type it in three times. Are there any character that are prohibited in the password? The help says that the password is stored unencrypted in the email configuration file. Where do I find this file to check the stored password? Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Its in /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/dynamix.cfg but I think it is encrypted. At least mine appears to be. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Me Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 You are right, it is encrypted. Seems the help note is outdated. But thank you anyway. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Are you using your full email address for the user name? Also, yahoo uses port 465 and SSL. Quote Link to comment
Just Me Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Yes, full e-mail address. I've chosen "yahoo" from the drop down menu, SSL, port 465 and the server address were preset. Edited September 25, 2017 by Just Me Quote Link to comment
FreeMan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 A while back, I changed my password to my gmail account, updated it in unRAID and couldn't get it to work. It turned out that unRAID doesn't seem to like spaces in email passwords. Not sure if this is your issue or not, but changing my password again to eliminate the spaces fixed the issue for me. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Me Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I don't use spaces in my password, but I'm using a password with special characters, I've changed the password and created a new one only using numbers and character and now it works. Seems unRAID doesn't like passwords with special character either. Thanks to everyone for the help :-) Edited September 28, 2017 by Just Me Quote Link to comment
Calamari Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I had another complete different issue with GMail: After much checking and double checking my user name and password and some head scratching it turns out Google considers unRAID a "Less Secure APP" and automatically blocks it! (See pic 1.jpg) You can turn off this feature with GMail but there's a hitch: You cannot use GMail with 2 factor security login - OK, reasonable... (See pic 2.jpg & 3.jpg) Google considers both regular GMail and GMail with TLS preset services to be "Less Secure Apps" from my test. Just a heads up everyone. 1 Edited January 6, 2018 by Calamari Quote Link to comment

chip Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) So not sure what changed but my notifications stopped working recently after one of the upgrades and now my Gmail notifications will only work if I set "Allow Less secure apps: ON". Is there a way to get notifications to work with out doing this? It worked fine before. service="smtp.gmail.com:587:YES:YES:login" root="[email protected]" RcptTo="[email protected]" SetEmailPriority="True" Subject="unRAID Status: " server="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" UseTLS="YES" UseSTARTTLS="YES" UseTLSCert="NO" AuthMethod="login" Edited October 3, 2019 by chip Quote Link to comment

Use your same email login and that new password in unRAID in place of your own email password. Quote Link to comment
