- Wed Jan 09, 2019 12:53 am #79967 Hi, I'm trying to send an email via my esp8266

Couldn't get it to work via gmail, so I used easyIOTcloud, but they have an email limit.

So i tried the smtp2go method. My code seems to work, however, my usernames account is not allowed to send.

The dashboard tells me I need to link to a domain name I have control over to send emails. Is this new? Or am I missing something?

Anyway. For anybody stuck trying to send an email via smtp, message the company and theyll resolve your issue in an hour. Very efficient. Very good company.

I personally use Pepipost, wherein our Domain is Approved Quickly without any Constraints.
Moreover, You can send 30,000 Emails FREE for first 30 days with an assurance of Inboxing.
