1. That setting looks better.

2. It's a simple search for "sendemail" in the _internal index.

index=_internal "sendemail"

Hi @richgalloway 

Bad username and password 

it's a password problem but I have a problem:

my password is made up of 9 syllables

example: 123456789

 

on the other hand I notice that the registered password is composed of only 6 syllables because there are 6 stars (******), I tried to delete all the registered passwords but always the same problem

First, verify the email setup is truly correct.  "smptvm.gmail.com: 587" looks incorrect to me.

Next, check index=_internal for "sendemail" messages.  These will verify the messages were handed off to the SMTP server or give an error explaining why they couldn't be handed off.

Finally, if the messages were successfully delivered to the SMTP server, contact your email admin to determine what your mail server(s) did with it.
