    Online exam help works by connecting students with academic experts who provide guidance, preparation strategies, or direct assistance during exams. These services often include tutoring, mock tests, and real-time support to ensure students understand the material and perform well. Depending on the platform, help may be scheduled in advance or offered on-demand. It’s essential that such services maintain academic integrity while offering support tailored to each student’s learning needs and goals. URL: https://hireexamnerds.com/take-my-online-exam

    I could not manage to configure Mycontroller V.1 Email notification settings and make it working with the stringent requirements of Gmail. And since its development is frozen, but it is still my beloved solution, I worked on a solution with the help of node-red. I am on: [image: 1745502255295-f435ccce-ee27-4aad-a160-65dd6ee87565-image.png] running on a Windows 10 mini pc. In node-red, using https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-email I have first created a local SMTP server: [image: 1745502723677-76588854-7010-4a93-aba6-6e1ca17809a3-image.png] followed by a change node in order to extract the html portion of the message from the message object: [image: 1745503016277-3ffbfaac-e7d5-4ae1-8963-d2aeb16591f6-image.png] In order to avoid email clogging I inserted a [image: 1745503130957-84b68489-e44a-45da-9196-82908ee869e8-image.png] to limit the email send rate to 1 email per second. Finally, the message containing the html payload is sent to [image: 1745503324674-a0b8225c-b458-40d7-b044-102006cc4bbf-image.png] which connects nicely to t the Gmail SMTP server, using my camper email account. Gmail SMTP requires an App Password, which can be obtained following these instructions https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en This is how the flow looks like in node-red [image: 1745503645000-990f9c3e-f297-47ae-878f-5f5c3836b08a-image.png] This is how I set up the email notification in MyController [image: 1745503737690-56ccb619-c47a-4975-a7a0-89e5be4d26e3-image.png] As you can see the email and domain are fake, since this SMTP server is local. I just needed to define an SMTP user. The same user is added to the list of the allowed users in the Email MTA node. Hope it helps anyone who, like me, struggled with Gmail SMTP restrictions.
