Greetings, since quite some time, longe before "converting" to Gentoo, I've used "fetchmail" and "ssmtp" to retrieve and send mail via my Google account.
Some time after I had all set up, Google started nagging about my not- so-secure access to my mail account via just userid and password. Up to now I simply ignored that. But now Google told me to only allow "Sign in with Google" or OAuth 2.0 after 2022-05-30. I've seen quite a few people with "@gmail" or "@googlemail" addresses on this list, so others might have a similar problem, but maybe nobody but me is using this Google + "fetchmail" + "ssmtp" combination. Any ideas how to get OAuth into this set-up? If it helps, here are the relevant configuration files: ---------------------------- ~/.fetchmailrc ---------------------------- poll pop.gmail.com proto POP3 service 995 user [email protected] dropdelivered fetchall no keep mda '/usr/bin/procmail -pf %F' pass ****** ssl ------------------------ /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf ------------------------- mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 FromLineOverride=YES hostname=tux rewriteDomain=Gmail.Com [email protected] UseSTARTTLS=YES [email protected] AuthPass=****** ---------------------------------End ---------------------------------- Sincerely, Rainer
