@anon76227090, I am successfully using gmail to send me email notifications.
I used the following --send-mail-url: “smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587/?starttls=when-available” (without the quotes)
Update at 07:10PDT 9/19/2017.
Adding my complete email configuration with sensitive data scrubbed out:
> --send-mail-any-operation="true"
> --send-mail-password="my gmail password"
> --send-mail-subject="Duplicati %PARSEDRESULT%, %OPERATIONNAME% report for %backup-name%"
> --send-mail-to="destination@foobar.com"
> --send-mail-url="smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587/?starttls=when-available"
> --send-mail-username="my-gmail-acct@gmail.com"
> --send-mail-from="<hostname> backup <my-gmail-acct@gmail.com>"
I changed the format of the sender (“send-mail-from”) and subject to be something I liked a bit better. <hostname> in the “–send-mail-from” section is the name of the host the backup was run on. Please note that this is not a keyword that is filled in automatically – I manually type out my hostname into that filed.
Hope this helps!
Marc
