Hi Erik,
I confirm that I currently use this script for a daily job monitoring my blog with Python.
Here’s the output of the header’s parser:
email proof
There are no specific configuration of my gmail account, besides using an App Password, as defined in this tutorial. The only note is that the Google App Password includes spaces inside the block of characters and I keept these spaces in the script.
If you have a spare microSD card, it would be interesting to know if it works to you with a fresh Raspberry PI OS installation.
Please let me know

Traceback (most recent call last):

raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)

I don’t think you can log in to gmail this way.
* If you have this script working somewhere with gmail, please share the working example, including a sample message as received with headers.
* If there is some configuration of the gmail account to adjust which allows it, I’d be delighted to know about it.
* If there is some 3rd-party provider accepting this “bare” TLS login on 587 (or any port), I’d like to know about that.
