I personally use my gmail account for personal scripts where I send cronjob results back to myself via SMTP.
You can create an "application password" in your google account settings that separate from your main password. However, the granularity of permissions isn't great in that you can scope it to gmail, but not make it a "send only, not read email" password.
I'd caution against outgoing emails going to many other places other than back to your own email though. You don't want your personal email or domain taking an authoritative hit on spam filter.s
- woofcat 4y agoThe problem I've had with this before is that the service is sending an email to say 5 different users when an update happens in a container. With outlook.com and Gmail I've had it get rate limited real fast. I.e. connecting to SMTP and firing out 15 emails seems to flag it pretty quick. The WebUI will continue to work but they'll lock down SMTP.
