    • Password: The Gmail App Password you generated earlier
    • Encryption: TLS
  6. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Step 4: Test the SMTP Relay

To test the SMTP relay, you can send a test email using Prolateral. Here's how:

  2. Go to the "Send" page.
  3. Enter the recipient's email address.
