Hi David We actually use a Mail API (Mailgun) rather than SMTP for more reliable email transmission. Is a much better solution than the same account credentials used at many sites.

From what you describe, a Google App Password seems like a great solution, specific to an application so the master user/pass is not replicated over all your AstLinux boxes. Also relatively easy to revoke a lost App Password and regenerate a new one.
