Answer 1

I assume "530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first." means that you have to connect with TLS (Transport Layer Security). Does dot project support that?

Answer 2

Gmail requires a secure connection (TLS or SSL).

You need to configure SSMPT (not dotProject) to talk securely with Google's SMTP server.

I think you can just add the following to your ssmtp.conf file and (assuming your SSMTP package was compiled with SSL support) it should then work:

UseTLS=YES

Or perhaps:

UseSTARTTLS=YES
