Hello, I am having trouble sending Email messages to gmail addresses. This problem only started a few weeks ago. These messages are being blocked, with a failure report being sent back to me. This particular report example is of failure when sent from my address rai@raisig.net to my own gmail address! What can be done to my Thunderbird outgoing message settings to satisfy the gmail checks, please?

This is not related to Thunderbird but rather to your email provider. You should talk to them.
