Nifi PutEmail failure to send flowfile to gmail account

[#1]

My dataflow takes some files from HDFS and after some processing i want to send en email to specific accounts

as notification but with the flowfile itself included as an attachment in the mail.

This is the configuration of the PutEmail processor:

Lets say i wanna use my gmail account to send the emails, then the SMTP authorization should be my gmail credentials and the sending address the one of my gmail account right?

This is the error message i receive, any ideas on what is going wrong here?

Try to telnet to smtp.gmail.com on port 25 from the command line on the system running NiFi, does it work?

Use port 587 - it work for me.

Note: Before you start the configuration, make sure that Less secure apps is enabled for the desired account.
