my message can sometimes not be delivered because of an incorrect alias. Sometimes it works.

1 Recommended Answer 786 Replies 1741 Upvotes hello,
Sometimes (!) I am getting a message that my email could not be delivered because the credentials of the alias I am sending are not correct or are outdated. But this happens with 1 out of 10 messages and randomly with the people I am sending this to. One minute later with another new message it then works again. I use gmail in the browser to send my emails.
Any one any idea?
thanks
Marjon

As many of you have discovered, the problem is, primarily, with the certificates on the SMTP servers, but was only revealed when Google started stricter enforcement.
AFAICT, it looks like there are two main problems, self-signed certificates and certificates that do not match the domain name used in the custom SMTP settings.
- If you manage your own SMTP servers, you will need to get a certificate signed by a recognised CA, and identify it with the domain name you use in your SMTP configuration.
- If you get your service from a major email provider, they will not be using self-signed certificates, but they may be sharing the server between many customers, allowing each customer to use a custom domain name pointing to the same machine. The solution for that is to get the canonical name from the provider to use in your SMTP settings.
- It is rare, but it is possible that the server will use a different certificate on different ports, so switching between 465, 587 and 25 might yield better results. Again, the best source for the settings is your email provider.
I do not recommend using a non-secure connection to send your mail.
Google have updated the help article for Send emails from a different address or alias to include a section about this problem. It basically reiterates what you all have discovered in this thread:
If you see one of these error messages, you might need to select a different port number and authentication type. Make sure you have used the correct outgoing mail server for your provider. You might need to contact your third party email provider for the correct settings.

I have been having the same problem for about a week to a week and a half.
I also see exactly what the posters say -- it is inconsistent, clearly some Gmail systems are configured differently than others, and it's random as to which one attempts to connect, because some of them are fine with my configuration and others are not.
The maddening thing is that the TLS certificate I'm using absolutely matches the host!
It is a self signed certificate but that's never been a problem in the past.
syd-barrett.accessgroupinc.com
No affiliation but I used
the detailed results from this site indicate no problems except for self signed certificate
Note that the server identifies itself as syd-barrett.accessgroupinc.com AND the reverse DNS resolves to syd-barrett.accessgroupinc.com AND the MX records all use syd-barrett.accessgroupinc.com
I am therefore baffled, which is unusual... I have 30+ years experience with system administration and used to hack Sendmail back in the day... contributed a tiny bit to Postfix years and years ago...

To make sure we're all on the same page, this is when sending from Gmail using a custom outgoing email address, and using TLS as the transport to another mail server which does the actual delivery for that domain.
(The OP isn't explicit about what they are doing, but I'm reading between the lines, because I have the exact same issue.)

An invalid certificate, including self-signed, would be a problem now that Gmail is enforcing TLS for servers that support it. (Previously, after a few failures, Gmail would deliver the messages without encryption.)
To know if this is everyone's problem would require knowing the domain names that are failing.

If this is due to a problem with the domain's certificate, would it not be a problem with each email I send? This seems to happen randomly, maybe one out of 5 or 10 emails I send, and it just started today.

The truly odd thing is that there was a bunch of fanfare when Google made changes to the way they handle TLS, and at that time, nothing broke!
Even now, things only break occasionally, about one out of ten times that I send something.
The irony of course is with stricter TLS the workaround with this error is to simply turn TLS off, and go unsecured, which is completely and totally stupid.
I control my DNS which points the MX to my server, I control my server software, and I provide the certificate. Why should Google care if my inbound relay uses a self signed certificate? It's better than the alternative, which is no encryption at all.

@bkennelly Note that I actually provided the exact details of my server and the output from the TLS check I did.
I do not see any documentation anywhere indicating that Gmail now requires certificates to be signed by a specific list of CA.
I do not see any documentation anywhere indicating that Gmail now requires certificates to be signed by a specific list of CA.
At the very least, if this is the requirement, then the error message is completely totally and stupidly incorrect. It indicates a hostname mismatch, which is absolutely not true.
I might also add that adding the TLS credentials within Gmail does not produce errors i.e. I give it username, password, and point it at my server, and it accepts those settings for the given email address... this is also an error if the intent on the part of Google is to force people to have TLS certificates that are signed by a given group of CA.
Long story short the status quo is ridiculously poor. The TLS page for Gmail says nothing about self signed certificates -- says nothing about specific CA being required -- the error message doesn't say anything about that either -- and Gmail itself gladly accepts my TLS credentials -- which it clearly is checking, as if I give an incorrect username or password, it refuses to take my settings.

1: Could you clarify. Could a change be made to a rule, and then the change be rescinded, and then made again, etc.?
2: Is it likely this is a Gmail issue or a real issue with the mail server's certificate at Earthlink? I don't want to go down the rabbit hole with Earthlink if it is a Gmail bug.

We may be getting sidetracked. By the time I read to the bottom of the posts, I had forgotten that the problem being reported was with authenticating to a custom SMTP server, and was thinking it was about delivery of outbound mail from the Gmail servers. (I apologize.)
It is still possible that the recent TLS changes are involved, but, AFAIK, those changes only apply to messages being sent from the Google mail servers to the other hosts, not to connecting to custom SMTP servers.
Google generally do not trust self-signed certificates, for good reasons, but that would not apply to those using Earthlink servers. The server name mismatch is possible, depending on how you name the server and how Earthlink identify it.

As I'm experiencing the same TLS Negotiation failed issue, I'll give more details about my Gmail account configuration. I'm using Gmail to send/receive my custom-domain email messages by using these two settings:
Options > Accounts and Import > Send mail as
Options > Accounts and Import > Check email from other accounts
The Send mail as is configured this way:
- Treat as an alias
- Treat as an alias
- Port 465
- Secured connection, using SSL (recommended)
My self-hosted domain is secured with a free Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate on a VPS machine with Ubuntu/Plesk. I've never had any problem for years, this is the first time Google is showing this behavior.
The LS Negotiation failed error happens in a completely random way. Sometimes I can send multiple messages to a specific email address with no issues... And then the 10th message drops this error. If I re-send the same message to the same address... It goes through with no error.

Same issue here - it's affecting random emails. The thing is, the sending as is actually hosted by Google Apps (the domain email IS a Gmail service) and the send as is being sent as that domain address via a regular Gmail account. It's completely hit and miss at the moment, I imagine it's down to some cluster of servers which need to be updated and we're only hitting them occasionally, rather than a full outright loss of service (which will make this harder to get attention from Google engineers!).

Happened to me when sending from one Gmail account but not from my Google Apps / Gsuite account.
I changed the password, deleted the account from my Gmail account, re-added it, and it seems to be working fine from both now.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Hi everyone, got the same issue today, and apparently I solved it in a very easy way. Just go to the Gmail settings, Account and Imports, ins Send Mail as section, go to the alias that gives you problem, click edit info and simply tap next and insert again that smtp password. That's it. I've already tried to resend the various mail I was receiving the error and now they have been delivered.
It seems like the google servers lost the auth and needed to check again the TLS negotiation.

I am having the same problem, this morning tried to solve it (in the same way that the "Problem Solved" person above tried to solve it). It's no better. I've been having it for at least 2 days, and like many people here, have had the accounts linked for years without issue.
I even deleted the link and re-linked it but had the issue again already (twice).

Same issue -- had my alias email working for several years and yesterday (4/6) this started happening.
I've done re-creating a new password on the host email side and edit the password in gmail in the edit info for the alias. That didn't work.
So I decided to start from scratch. Tried deleting the email in "send mail as" and re-added it. Went through the authentication process. This appeared to work on a few emails, thought I was out of the woods but found out this morning some of the emails bounced back. It's hit or miss. Like others have said, maybe 2-5 out of 10 get this bounce back.
I think this is on Gmail's end as it seems like everyone is using a different SMTP server. I'm hosted on Siteground if it helps.

I'm having the same issue for about a week now. I have tried everything, but the "Send As" feature is not functioning properly. It allows about 2 of every 10 emails to go through. I use Gmail for my work email, and forward my work email to my Gmail, and have the "Send As" alias set up so that all emails are sent from my work email address. I need this corrected right away. What can I do?
My domain is hosted by Web.com
Domain is: Kmbarnettlaw.com
I have 2-step authentication turned on. I have reset passwords. I have removed and relinked the accounts and double checked everything. They link and forward without issue, it is ONLY the "Send As" feature that is not working. I have had it set up for 5 years now with no problem until last week. Google please help!!!!

It's really hard to tell, since the problem is intermittent to begin with. I have made no changes at all, and some emails go, some don't. It's fairly random (seeming), probably due to whatever server instance is handling a given message, and not all servers being entirely equal.
