Do you use Gmail for your SMTP? End of May 2022, Google will not let you choose to 'allow less secure apps' (reference this article), which means Alexandria can not send email through Gmail. We have also verified that the Google SMTP relay will not function. (Read more: What is SMTP relay? | SMTP relay: Route outgoing non-Gmail messages through Google.) What should you do? Soon, we'll be offering an Integrated Email Services. Details coming soon. To keep using Gmail for your SMTP, we are working on a fix in Alexandria version 21.12 for cloud-hosted customers. Once you are updated to that version, you or an admin will need to follow these steps to give Alexandria the permission to keep sending emails. Go to your Preferences > Setup > Email. Choose the option to Use Google to send emails. Click the button to sign in to Google and authenticate.

If you are not signed up for release announcements, do so here: Upcoming. Note that this fix is for cloud-hosted customers only, as the service will be authenticated through our hosted servers. If , so if you self-host your data, your Alexandria server must be able to communicate with our hosted services. Alternatively, call us today to learn about our Integrated Email Services option coming this summer.
