Hello, I have had the same issue trying to send email using Web2Py server. This is not mere luxury, emails are needed for a robust authentication process which Web2Py offers, IF one can send emails from W2P...
Seems the problem is with GMAIL as other have noted before, on this and on other blogs. I have tried all the possible combinations of port with TLS and etc... Nothing worked and some combinations actually caused Web2Py server to crash... Eventually - went to https://mandrillapp.com/ and got SMTP service (for free). It takes literally 5 minutes to register with these guys get SMTP definitions that you can then use in Web2Py and it works !!! Disclaimer - I have *nothing* to do with this company mandrillapp. I have actually got the name from one of the links that Alan Etkin has posted a few days ago.
