Description

Configuring smtp-auth for smtp.gmail.com:

E-Mail-server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP-Port: 465
Secure SMTP Connection: yes
Validate SSL/TLS: yes
From e-mail address: <pfsense e-mail address>
Notification E-Mail address: <my e-mail address>
Notification E-Mail auth username (optional): <my e-mail address>
Notification E-Mail auth password: <password> <password>
Notification E-Mail auth mechanism: PLAIN

Now pressing "Save". Page is reloaded. Fields are shown again:

E-Mail-server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP-Port: 465
Secure SMTP Connection: yes
Validate SSL/TLS: yes
From e-mail address: <pfsense e-mail address>
Notification E-Mail address: <my e-mail address>
Notification E-Mail auth username (optional): <empty>
Notification E-Mail auth password: <empty> <empty>
Notification E-Mail auth mechanism: PLAIN

looking at the mailserver build into pfsense: no auth-configuration! And thus: sending mail fails with log entry that the server requires authentication.
