I just did a quick test, and sending via smtp.gmail.com using an app

Ijust set up msmtp and it works too. Below is the msmtp config,

 * If you want, replace "account gmail" with "account default", then
   you don't have to supply the "-a gmail" option to msmtp.

 * replace (in two places) username@gmail.com with your email address.

 * replace XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with your app password.

Sorry.  Somehow I missed this reply.  I copy and pasted yours and changed the needed bits.  I put spaces in the password like you showed.  I assume it needs those.  I also changed gmail to default for account.  When I start smartd, it adds this to messages.

Based on what you posted that works for you, I think there may be a problem elsewhere.  Maybe I have something somewhere else set wrong and don't know it, maybe even a silly typo.  If that config you posted works for you, I see no reason it shouldn't work here unless you pay for something extra.  Other than that, I suspect smtp is set up right but something else isn't.  Should we look elsewhere?  Any idea where?  Could it be smart itself that is set up wrong?  Sending wrong thing to smtp? 

Thanks for the help.
