HP scan to email
Hey
Just wondering if anyone has come into a situation where you're trying to setup scan to email on an HP printer but it wont accept the smtp server even though testing via mail client with same credentials works no problem.
The only way i have been able to get it to work is with Google Workspace.
I've also tried
fastmail.com (application password)
smtp2go.com
Any ideas? was thinking of getting an MXRoute email from @jar but im not sure if i will get the same problem.

Usually you just need to use insecure port and protocols, these devices are rarely updated with the latest secure cipher configurations.
why would google work? they not secure lol
Big services often leave insecure ciphers in place because they don't care if you embarrass them on Reddit, and they'd rather you have a false sense of security than a support complaint. Smaller companies get blasted to hell and back for it. Bonus points that almost no one (relatively) uses SMTP to authenticate with their service anyway.
What smtp port and SSL setting are you using?
Different ports require different SSL setting:
Port 25: Plain or STARTTLS
Port 465: SSL
Port 587: Plain or STARTTLS
Some ISP blocked smtp port 25 by default.
465
The smtp server you originally want to use is self hosted? Most recent linux distros disable TLS < v1.2 by default. You have to enable TLSv1.1 or even TLSv1.0 for some old devices.
@jar this is what i have available

what do i need to do to get it working with mxroute?
When you say it won't accept, what errors are you getting?
Authentication Error SSL, works fine with port 25, not with 465 or 587 (gmail no problem)
