Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I tried port 587 in weewx.conf which did not work (both with username +
@gmail.com and without).
Then I tried adding the port in the alarm.py with the following result
(botth with/without @gmail.com in weewx.conf)
Jul 30 16:00:24 loxberry /weewxd: alarm: Alarm expression "outTemp > 24.0"
evaluated True at 2021-07-30 16:00:00 CEST (1627653600)
Jul 30 16:00:24 loxberry /weewxd: alarm: unable to use SMTP_SSL connection.
Jul 30 16:00:24 loxberry /weewxd: alarm: unable to sound alarm. Reason:
[Errno 111] Connection refused
code in alarm.py:
try:
# First try end-to-end encryption
s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(self.smtp_host, timeout=self.timeout,
port=587)
syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_DEBUG, "alarm: using SMTP_SSL on port
587")
