Access less secure Gmail apps

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

I recommend that you start using a service like SMTP2go I'd also then recommend changing the customer a scanning fee of $ 5 a month.

The problem with SMPT2go is that too many spammers use it. When other email providers get more than a set number of spam reports coming from a single SMTP source, they block all emails from that source. It can take 2 to 32 weeks for that block to be removed.

Charging a scanning fee to customers? You must enjoy losing customers.

The big companies are all trying to come up with a way to charge for scans.

Charging for a service is what we do, the big company's are already billing a monthly scanning fee for wear to feed rollers and we all noticed that click rates are dropping volumes declining. customers would be paying for a email account for the machine anyway. this way they just pay for a product that works that you control and know how it works.

I'm not loosing customers, and if I was did I want them?

We've never had issues with smtp2go spam issues. but have mine configured correctly. knowing how many IP-address they have I'm surprised you've had issues.

I have never had a problem with SMTP2go because I have never had to use it. Others here on CTN have reported the problem in the past. I have always been able to get Gmail to work. The only exception has been with customers that had AT&T Uverse as their ISP and using the Motorola NVG510 modem. The Modem block all SMTP requests from devices that were not computers to SMTP servers that were not used by AT&T.

scanner@noreply.ca, rather than the actual admin email address - which is completely opposite of what one would expect .
Once it's configured and working properly, it's extremely reliable. I've never had an issue with it.
I will also add that SMTP2go can no longer be used with "free" email providers like Gmail, hotmail, etc, and most ISP providers, it must be configured via a clients domain email like abc@xyzcompany.com.
I'm not sure when that actually happened, because I used to configure it without issue via Gmail, etc, and I actually have my own gmail account associated with an SMTP2go account that still works.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

Hi, Google recently seems to have removed the "Less secure app access" option.


This is a problem for me especially with old printers (for example bizhub C364e). Scans now no longer work.


Has anyone else noticed this?

The "Allow Less Secure App" option is still there I just checked.

If you are using the restricted SMTP server aspmx.l.google.com, you may need to refer to the link I posted do one of the following:
I believe the IP address would the address of the public side of the router your device connects through.

This maybe the simple answer "I would also add that if you have a client with multiple MFP's, the same APP password can be used on all of them"

Just how many emails can you send in Gmail at a time? The current Gmail email sending limit is 500 emails per 24 hours when sending from their web interface. It's important to note that this means 500 in any combination

As soon as you configure 2-step verification - it's gone. And Yes, you can revert back to previous config.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

Options:
Why not forget about gmail altogether?

Every small business has an ISP. Use the small business local ISP email account for all MFD email settings.
Ask the small business IT to create a seperate MFD private email account on their own ISP server.
Use the private email for all MFD email send and recieving.

While all of this is true, many of the small businesses I deal with, very often don't have an IT other than me. Their eyes glaze over when I ask about their login credentials for their ISP in order to create an email address,, and they don't have time to look for it or figure it out and just want it working, and it's just easier to use the Gmail, Hotmail, or whatever address they may have.
However, having said that, and as I've pointed out in other similar threads, a Gmail account will log every single scan sent through it, including attachments, so privacy is zero, which is a no go for many businesses other than mom and pop type operations, unless a new one is setup and only the manager/ owner has the account credentials for it

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

To make you understand, here in Germany there are companies that do not even have a fax. Send orders via the postman!
Many small (and unfortunately also large) companies don't even know what an IT Manager is. So we printer technicians often have to improvise.
In any case, congratulations on the tutorials! I will take inspiration from this thread again when Google deletes "less secure apps".
