    Okay thanks for providing your setup. It looks like you're setting Mystic up to connect to its own SMTP server.

    In order for e-mail to be sent out you have to have access to an external SMTP server from a mail provider, so Mystic can send mail to it. Most people used to use Gmail but I am not sure if Google still allows it for free.

    Yeah, I actually run my own outbound SMTP server which then connects to a third
    party SMTP delivery provider which happens to be SMTP2GO. You might want to look into signing up with them as I believe they have a free use option.

    Thanks!

    I did know about that and I have suggested SMTP2GO to a handful of people as an
    alternative to Google's SMTP. But I would still like to get some time to see what exactly it is that Google has changed so that I can make adjustments in Mystic if needed!

    Hopefully in the next week or two life should get better for me so I can go back to working a bit more on BBS stuff!

    I have everything setup by the docs and could be the issue? Is python used to call the validation script file or how does it work please? I am trying to figure out why it's not working when I tried every possible combination talked about this echo.

    Thanks

    Just a quick update, for what it's worth I tried everything to get the apps password working before Googles new rules went into effect and couldn't. Just tried it again and now it works perfectly.. Don't know what is different but it
    does work..

    It is something most certainly worth looking into.
