I run third party software called Planeplotter and Planebase. Every night ar midnight it creates a log - really a text file. For years I have been sending this log to three interested parties. Since - about the 1st June, my log is not automatically sending. It is setup to send at 0001 every night to an address in google groups and also io.groups. Since 1st June I am getting an error message when I try to send via my Thunderbird software - gmail account. The error message is 0x80040217 unable to send to the SMTP server.

Since 1 June, I have migrated to a different PC (win 10) as my Win 7 PC eventually fell over. I have new versions of all my software, which, as far as I am concerned comes from a known and reputable source and I have been running it continuously for over 5 years without problem. I think I have also had a Thunderbird update also.

Can you advise any possible solution as to how to get Thurnderbird / gmail to accept my log file to send, please

Hello there Tom. We have read your message. We try to help you.

Oke there ,it seems that your error code on your Software that is on your pc or laptop.


Is caused by faulty input of configuration in the setting for Smtp server. Mostly a wrong username and password for the Smtp server. What about the server in this story is that the server has disabled your Thunderbird account for spamming because you ve hit the 1500 above limit sent mails. And also for security of the Spamming risk.
