More problems with Google security upgrade
We're using our Koha server as the SMTP server, so we're not having the same problems as I've been reading from others. Our problem is we started having trouble sending to Gmail accounts. This started around the time people started posting about their problems sending from Gmail accounts. Does anyone know of any changes we'd need to make to our settings to get Gmail to accept notices from Koha? -- *Tim McMahon* West Liberty Public Library
Hi Tim, Google tightened the rules as it struggled with a massive increase in spam. Try to use guidelines https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en Michal KohaCZ po 13. 6. 2022 v 21:44 odesílatel Tim McMahon <tmcmahon@wlpl.org> napsal:

If you previously enabled Less Secure Apps to allow setting a username/password in Koha to authenticate to Google, this is no longer available for individual accounts (Google Workspace accounts can still do it -- for now). Instead, you now must make sure multi-factor authentication is enabled on the account used by Koha. After you do this you will be able to create a per-App password you can put in the Koha configuration.

Recently Google has started treating all SPF failures as hard failures and throwing away those messages. So, if your notices have a From: of user@example.com <mailto:user@example.com> and example.com’s SPF record doesn’t say that you’re allowed to send email from that domain Gmail trashes it. We’ve had a lot of customers lately either add our servers to their SPF records and that fixed the issue for them. You can find out more at http://www.open-spf.org/ <http://www.open-spf.org/> Also setting up DKIM support would make it even more likely that they be delivered, but a properly setup SPF record for all domains email is coming “from” is enough for now.
