Anything special to make SMTP work?
I'm struggling with email a bit
I've added the following to my ~/.whimsy, but still can't get mail to
send. Password is correct.
:sendmail:
delivery_method: smtp
address: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
domain: apache.org
user_name: john.d.ament@gmail.com
password: ***
authentication: plain
enable_starttls_auto: true

If you just want to test that emails are sent correctly, Python has a
simple SMTP server:
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
This will print out the content of any mails sent to it.
Maybe Ruby has something similar.

I got it working with an older gmail account. My company also has an
opensource smtp server for simple use cases, may try that. Otherwise we
have to figure out how to get ponymail to setup an SMTP listener.

I do not have MFA enabled.
I can also send mail through my ISP, though I've found that such
emails are throttled:
:sendmail:
delivery_method: smtp
address: smtp-server.nc.rr.com
domain: intertwingly.net

Doesn't 2FA mean you need to use an app-specific password?

Let me know if it works - although I still hate sticking a Google ID
password in plaintext.
(Not that my whimsy.local SVN works yet anyway... need to find time to
experiment with rebuilding the keychain)

I do have MFA enabled though, does your account?

It looks like you added @gmail.com to your user_name. Here's what works for me:
user_name: sa3ruby
