From e61ce934bc4ce70214351d8b89eecd484b3f8bd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Liu Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2023 13:52:36 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] Update Gmail mailer configuration (#22291) This PR updates the `[mailer]` configuration snippet for Gmail: - The `HELO_HOSTNAME` isn't required. - The `USER` must not include the @gmail domain. - `HOST` needs to be supplied, and the SMTP port number needs to be appended to the URL. I also added a note about the requirement to use App passwords instead of your Google account password directly.
