I think I found a serious issue with email verification...

I changed the following in db.py for the scaffolding app:

## configure email
mail=auth.settings.mailer
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]'
mail.settings.login = 'joeblow:somepassword'

## configure auth policy
auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True

Whenever I try to register a new user, Gmail detects "suspicious
activity", rejects the email verification send operation, and forces
[email protected] to change his password. Every time! What a f*cking
pain!

It would seem that you cannot use Gmail to perform registration
verification. Is there a workaround, or is this registration
verification feature of web2py simply dead in the water?

Thanks,
Richard
