So it appears that Gmail is disallowing "less secure apps" starting Jan 2025. I had at least one customer complaining it is not working (See Google message below).
Is anyone else experiencing this or know a work around or some other email vendor that can be used? I know HMail Server still works, but the customer does not have any PC's/Servers on site.

Less secure apps & your Google Account​

Starting January 2025, less secure apps, third-party apps, or devices that have you sign in with only your username and password will no longer be supported for Google Workspace accounts. For exact dates, visit Google Workspace Updates. To continue to use a specific app with your Google Account, you’ll need to use a more secure type of access that doesn’t share password data. Learn how to use Sign in with Google.
If an app or site doesn’t meet our security standards, Google might block anyone who’s trying to sign in to your account from it. Less secure apps can make it easier for hackers to get in to your account, so blocking sign-ins from these apps helps keep your account safe.

Use more secure apps​

If an app uses less secure sign-in technology, you might not be able to use it with your Google Account.
Apps that use only your username or password will create errors if they try to access your Google Account. These errors can appear as:

• “Invalid username”
• “Invalid password”
• “Unable to log in”

You can sign in to your Google Account from any third-party app that has the "Sign in with Google" option. In some cases you may need to remove your Google Account and then add it again on your device.

I've stopped using less secure apps for a while and just use app passwords for doing scan to e-mail on copiers and on some other services that i use. i'm sure it would work just the same on on an IPO.

For all of our Avaya IP Office clients utilizing Google Workspace we have them send email utilizing the SMTP relay and have the authentication with a static IP address. Here is the google link for reference:

This way you don't need to authenticate with a username and password.
