Is this new gmail behaviour? Did I miss something in my settings? Thanks!


Yes, it's (relatively) new gmail behavior. Apparently they want to push 
OAuth based logins, and refer to all non-OAuth apps as "less secure".

Thanks for those links, that led me to the holy grail:

https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security/lesssecureapps

Looks like I'm up and rolling again.

[Trac] gmail smtp Sign-in attempt prevented

[Aaron Laws]

I set up gmail smtp according 
to http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracNotification#UsingGMailastheSMTPrelayhost. 
I have

[notification]
admit_domains =
always_notify_owner = false
always_notify_reporter = false
always_notify_updater = true
ambiguous_char_width = single
batch_subject_template = $prefix Batch modify: $tickets_descr
email_sender = SmtpEmailSender
ignore_domains =
mime_encoding = base64
sendmail_path =
smtp_always_bcc =
smtp_always_cc = dartm...@gmail.com
smtp_default_domain =
smtp_enabled = true
smtp_from = t...@gmail.com
smtp_from_author = true
smtp_from_name = the trac system
smtp_password = ***
smtp_port = 587
smtp_replyto = dartm...@gmail.com
smtp_server = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_subject_prefix = __default__
smtp_user = dartm...@gmail.com
ticket_subject_template = $prefix #$ticket.id: $summary
use_public_cc = true
use_short_addr = false
use_tls = true


When I try this, I get an e-mail from gmail saying, 

Hi Aaron,Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account 
dartme18@gmail.comfrom an app that doesn't meet modern security standards.

Is this new gmail behaviour? Did I miss something in my settings? Thanks!

I haven't seen that before, but I haven't used Gmail as an SMTP server for
many months. On a Linux server it's easy to configure Exim or similar as an
outgoing SMTP server. Another option is to use SendGrid or a similar
service. SendGrid allows 10k emails per day on their free tier.
