Answer 1

in addition to all answers please note that in sendmail.ini file:

auth_password=this-is-Not-your-Gmail-password

due to new google security concern, you should follow these steps to make an application password for this purpose:

1. go to https://accounts.google.com/ in security tab
2. turn two-step-verification on
3. go back to the security tab and make an App-password (in select-app drop-down menu you can choose 'other')
