[admin update 2013-10-28: see the wiki section on email/smtp]
Following the standard web2py mail setup here:
https://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/08#Setting-up-email
made Google send me an automated message say that there was some "suspicious behavior" on my e-mail account and that I could follow this help page to enable the "client" (web2py@pythonanywhere@aws I assume)

I tried lynx from a bash shell, but to no avail. Is there a way to do this from PythonAnywhere or is there some workaround? I suppose I could use another smtp server if necessary, but just wanted to give a shout in case someone can help with this.
