Send email using smpt client

[ASTDan]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Send Email using SMTP Client example in LabVIEW.  I am trying to send through my gmail account.

The settings I have are as follows

Outgoing Mail server

smpt.gmail.com

Port 

587

Username

my gmail address

Password

my password

Enable TLS

Enabled

I am getting the following error

Error 363507 occurred at LabVIEWSMTPClient.lvlib:Send.vi:2280003

Please advise

Did you google that? www.google.com/q=363507+smtp+error

It seems to be a certificate problem. The first hit isn't very useful.

The second hit, on lava might provide some answers:

Hello,

The LAVA link you sent uses https web services.  I am using SMTP email.

Thanks

Here's an old Gmail VI I found on the forums years ago.

As far as I know it still should work. Compare it to what you have.

Hello,

It look like I need a CA file.  I don't know how to do this right now.

My application is my customer wants to send an email on a failure.  We will eventually use their network.  I was hoping to try test this function of the code.  I use gmail so it is not the end use case.

I guess I will have to lean on their IT department...

Thanks

It's the same error, and probably the same problem. A certificate issue, as you already found out.

Have you tried changing "Allow less secure apps" to ON in your Gmail account settings?  It introduces a security vulnerability, but could be a temporary workaround while you get your certificates worked out.

I used OpenSSL in the past to do that. Google "openssl create self signed certificate" and you'll find some tutorials.
