I am trying to send mail using my gmail smtp server. Currently, I have created several files such as .esmtprc and .muttrc. Well yeah, I am using both esmtp and mutt to configure my mail. Right now, when i try to send an email through the gmail smtp server, i am being shown an error message Error sending message, child exited 70 (Internal Error.). Could not send message.
.
This is my .esmtprc file:
identity " xxx@gmail.com " hostname smtp.gmail.com:587 username " xxx@gmail.com " password "password" starttls required
This is my .muttrc file:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp" set envelope_from=yes set from="xxx@gmail.com " set use_from=yes set edit_headers=yes
This is the esmtp.log file

These are the main files i have configured before testing the mail function. Can someone help to solve this problem. Thank you.

I have solved it by heading Google’s less secure apps page. And turn on the less secure apps. Now I can send mail through mutt application.
