Cant Get Email Notifications To Work ( version 2.1.229 )

[intradiem]

Hello all,

I've got Review Assistant setup and working, but I can't seem to get the email notifications to work. I've tried various configurations and SMTP accounts in the settings.xml file but I keep getting errors like the one below. I am restarting the service after I make changes but it's just not working. Any help would be appreciated. Below shows my settings.xml ( with sensitive info hidden ) and the error I get with Review Assistant attempts to send a notification. Thanks.

To resolve the problem related to sending emails via Gmail, you need to set the SMTP port 587.

I tried 587 but it didn't solve the problem. I get the same failure as below, just with the 587 port in the error instead of 465.

I have just tested - everything works fine. Please make sure you have access to the 587 port (in your firewall settings). Here are my settings:
