I'm trying to configure a simple contact form for my webpage. I'm getting this stacktrace:

This is my configuration,

smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
smtp.port=465
smtp.ssl=true
smtp.tls=true
smtp.user="myemail@gmail.com"
smtp.password=xxxxxx

  • @NicolasSchejtman Have you followed the instructions from https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 ? – Salem May 06 '15 at 22:33
  • @Salem yes I have! I found a solution while running in my local host, but I get the same error while running in my digitalocean server. Instead of using the myemail@gmail.com as the smtp user y used just myemail w/out the host. Any ideas? – Nicolas Schejtman May 09 '15 at 17:18
  • You may need to review notifications from Google related to account activity, flag them as acceptable and potentially allow less secure apps access to your Google account as mentioned in the instruction referenced by @Salem. – Sergey V. Aug 04 '15 at 03:10

I used :

"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-mailer" % "2.4.1"

At the end this config worked :

smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
smtp.auth=true
smtp.port=587
smtp.tls=yes
smtp.ssl=no
smtp.user = "****@gmail.com"
mail.smtps.debug = true
smtp.password = "****"

I had to enable this setting

I found a solution instead of using "myemail@gmail.com" as the user, I just used the local part "myemail". However, this works fine on my local host but failed on my server. I tried enabling access for less secure applications and allowing the server IP to access my account, but neither worked. Finally I've ended up creating a new email address and using that one for sending email. This solution suits me, but it isn't optimal :S
