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?
