Hotbox.ru smtp gmail

It seems like you're trying to set up an SMTP server on hotbox.ru using Gmail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Gmail account.
  2. You have access to the hotbox.ru server (e.g., you're the administrator or have permission to configure the server).

Step 1: Enable Less Secure Apps in Gmail

To allow Gmail to send emails through your hotbox.ru server, you need to enable "Less Secure Apps" in your Gmail account settings. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Less secure app access" section.
  5. Toggle the switch to "Allow less secure apps: YES."

Step 2: Configure hotbox.ru SMTP Server

Now, you need to configure the hotbox.ru server to use Gmail's SMTP server. The exact steps may vary depending on your server's operating system and configuration. Here's a general outline:

  1. Log in to your hotbox.ru server using SSH or your preferred method.
  2. Open the email configuration file (e.g., /etc/postfix/main.cf or /etc/mail/sendmail.cf).
  3. Add the following lines to the file:
    smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_use_tls = yes
  4. Create a new file called sasl_passwd in the same directory (e.g., /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd).
  5. Add the following line to the sasl_passwd file:
    [smtp.gmail.com]:587 your_email_address:your_email_password

    Replace your_email_address and your_email_password with your actual Gmail credentials.

Step 3: Restart the SMTP Server

After making the changes, restart the SMTP server to apply the new configuration:

sudo service postfix restart

Step 4: Test the SMTP Server

Use a tool like telnet or a mail client like Thunderbird to test the SMTP server:

telnet smtp.gmail.com 587

If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to send emails using your hotbox.ru server.

Remember to keep your Gmail credentials secure and avoid sharing them with anyone. If you're concerned about security, consider using a more secure alternative to Gmail's SMTP server.
