PLEASE HELP

This is the underlying problem. smtp.google.com is the wrong host - you probably meant smtp.gmail.com.

We don't recommend using Gmail for alarm notification. It violates their TOS and will result in your account getting flagged as spam and/or banned if you get caught.

Thanks man! it works now

Uhm, did you notice Kevin's other comment? This:

TOS == Terms of Service. I hope the gmail account you are using is a throw-away mail address, as you risk losing it forever.

Hmm, I got curious how it would violate their ToS, but I can't find anything.

I know there are limits to the number of mails you can send over a given timeframe, but these limits are enforced automatically, and don't result in a ban IIRC (though you could miss important alarm info if it happens).

I also don't think it would be considered spam (as long as all recipients agree on getting those mails).

That said, they own the domain, so they can always kick you, even if you're not doing anything wrong according to their rules.

I think you're right, it's not strictly against the TOS, but if they mistake you as spam it will be very difficult to recover your account into a usable state (we've seen this happen).

Exercise judgment when sending email to a large number of recipients, even if the recipients elected to receive emails from you in the past. When Gmail users mark emails as spam, it increases the likelihood that future messages you send will also be classified as spam by our anti-abuse systems.
