yes i could try using my virgin media account to see if that works 

Use the Virgin SMTP settings it seems to work with all email addresses 

thanks for the reply I have setup virgin media account all working ok but on the dvr in the section mailing service use authentication when i put in password 9 digits it comes up with 12 digits i've tried rebooting dvr just entering b (first letter of password ) but still ends up with 12 stars in box any ideas.

thanks

May just be a placeholder and the symbols don't represent the password length?

Question is does it work.

no

If a Gmail account is used solely for m2m type stuff they can and do detect and block. I forget now but there is a workaround, i had to do it for my freepbx alerts.

 

It might rely on running a script though, easy enough on a pi, obvs not so much on a DVR!
