Well, if you can't connect to [smtp.gmail.com:587](http://smtp.gmail.com:587) then you can't send email via Gmail. IIRC the email output uses STARTTLS rather than SMTPS, otherwise SSL over port 465 would've been an option. ---

Thanks Magnusbaeck, With the help of network admin I am receiving the following response for the command "telnet [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) 587" Response is **"220 [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) ESMTP 77sm680281pfz.47 - gsmtp"** Than i tried to send a mail but i got the error as **"[logstash.outputs.email] Something happen while delivering an email {:exception=\>#\ **Author:** ![suganth](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/s/f17d59/32.png) [@suganth](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/suganth)\ **Post date:** [September 6, 2017, 4:55am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/from-logstash-i-need-to-send-email-to-gmail/99419/4 "2017-09-06T04:55:11Z") Thanks Magnus, Now it worked for me but the error message is not going as email.. instead the IF condition alone going as a body in my mail my configuration is \*\* if "Eligibility Overruled.." in [message] { email { ``` to => 'xyz@gmail.com' codec => "plain" debug => 'true' via => 'smtp' address => 'smtp.gmail.com' username => 'xyz@gmail.com' password => 'xyz' subject => 'Alert - %{title}' body => '%{message}' port => 25 use_tls => true ``` } }\*\* From the above cofiguration i can receive the message in my mail as **Eligibility Overruled..** but i need full error message.

I don't quite understand. The configuration above should give you an email with the full text of the `message` field. Is that not enough? If so, where is the rest of the information you want? ---

No Magnus its not giving the full text if message field instead it giving the text what i have used for IF condition that is giving as message, based on the above configuration am receiving the message as **Eligibility Overruled…** Thanks, Suganth A ---

I find that very hard to believe. If you change the condition to be `if "Eligibility Over" in [message]`, does the email contents change accordingly? ---
