Could not send email in indico.log

Hi, I’m getting the following warning in indico.log:

Could not send email

and I don’t recieve any emails. I’m using a G suite account (smtp.google.com) and it is working fine with other applications (e.g. wordpress).

I’m pretty sure there’s more in the log than just those 4 words… :wink:

Here is more from the log:

This sounds like you got temporarily throttled because you were sending too many emails or had too many other failures (check if there’s anything related in the log file)… Anyway, indico automatically retries for a while so if it’s really just temporary the email should eventually be sent.
