The new xsibackup_id_rsa file headers look like this:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Key goes here

-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----



The old one looks like this:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Key

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

As a test, I copied the following files from my previous installation to the new one:

xsibackup_id_rsa.pub
xsibackup_id_rsa.pem
xsibackup_id_rsa
request.key

I noticed that the previous keys were in RSA format vs OPENSSH.

And now it will sucessfully send email.  Not sure if that request.key has anything to do with things..

Out of curiosity, what version of ESXi is that from?

I'm on version 6.5.0 Update 3 (Build 13932383) on both servers and both are doing the exact same thing.  No error message nor output to indicate an issue.

So what you're telling me is that the free version (11.2.6) is broken with Gmail and this is a known issue?
When will the free version fix be implemented?

[root@ESXiR420:/vmfs/volumes/5be9760a-8ba90cd5-3a4e-000af77eadb8/xsi-dir] esxcli network firewall set --enabled false
[root@ESXiR420:/vmfs/volumes/5be9760a-8ba90cd5-3a4e-000af77eadb8/xsi-dir] nc -4z smtp.gmail.com 465

Connection to smtp.gmail.com 465 port [tcp/smtps] succeeded!

Netcat doesn't seem to have an issue reaching smtp.gmail.com either.

Was using xsibackup free version 11.0.1 and needed to upgrade as I ran into a bug where backups were failing to fire off, after I installed the latest ESXi patch.  Was doing (line 490: syntax error: unexpected "&") and not backing up anything.

Upgraded to 11.2.6 and now I can't get SMTP to work with Gmail at all. I've tried installing on two different ESXi boxes and they are both doing the same thing.  I have it configured the same way as 11.0.1 was.

Running  ./xsibackup --check-smtp=username@gmail.com --use-smtp=2
and here are the results:

Using stored SMTP server info...
Found conf/smtpsrvs file...
Using SMTP server #2: smtp.gmail.com:465
Open firewall: 2019-07-21T22:22:08|  Opening port 465 for SMTPout-465 service...
USING KEY: xsibackup_id_rsa
Firewall rule SMTPout-465 closed.
Killed


Not much for me to go on..  Any ideas?  Any way to turn on more detailed debug logging or am I testing incorrectly?

smtpsrvrs:

2;smtp.gmail.com:465;user@gmail.com;user@gmail.com;password;yes;TLS;0
