msmtp: server message: 535 5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 q4sm50897126pba.12 - gsmtp
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /etc/msmtprc)
ERROR: Email could not be sent, please check your logs

is there anyone can help me? thanks!

BerryIO uses msmtprc to send emails. So that msmtprc can send the emails it needs the login details for a real email account (such as gmail for example) configured in the file /etc/msmtprc

Please edit /etc/msmtprc and check your email account username and password settings
sudo nano /etc/msmtprc

For further information on this file please Google for msmtprc.
All you need to change is /etc/msmtprc please do not change any other msmtp settings or file permissions.

Good luck :)

Hi Daniel,
