Hi Cody, I tried this myself ...
Assume: -- Google username: foobar Google password: SuperSecret GMail address: foo...@gmail.com Google Account -> Sign-in & Security -> Apps with account access -> Allow less secure apps: ON -- Ref: https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en Note: user.conf SMTP_FROM is *not* defined. Network tab -> Outbound SMTP Mail Relay: -- SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Domain: gmail.com SMTP Authentication: [plain] SMTP Port: 587 SMTP Encryption: TLS/STARTTLS - [Check Cert] SMTP Cert File: SMTP Username: foobar SMTP Password: SuperSecret -- No rebooting or restarting required to test, simply click: Network tab -> Outbound SMTP Mail Relay: {Test SMTP mail Relay} The above worked perfectly for me. If you continue to have issues, you could try the latest AstLinux pre-prelease [1] which contains a newer "msmtp" version.
