Hello!

I'm having an issue trying to send an email, using the Email Out node. The error that I receive every time I try is the following:

"Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain"

If you have any suggestion, please let me know. Thanks

Sorry, I don't know about using it with gmail. If you search the forum for gmail you will find a number of posts describing how to do it, I think.
