Problem enabling Email services

[Sandeep Patel]

Hello
I am trying to send a welcome message to user as an email. To achieve this, I have followed all the steps as they are described in the official documentation. Additionally all the settings that I have adopted for the purported functionality, can be found in the trailing email thread. However, I am still receiving an Error Message - WARNING:web2py:email not send. Can anyone help me out here please? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sandeep

Is GMail's 2-factor authentication getting in the way here?  IIRC (from previous posters), the way around that involves registering your app with Google.  Others prefer to use other mailer services.  My AWS instance runs sendmail, so I have a local mailer, but had to SPF and DMARC stuff in the DNS records.
