I can make it work on test OK if I use my e-mail client and personal e-mail account as the sender, but in practice I want to send the message using another gmail account. The idea is to make it clear that the message comes from the organisation rather than from me personally, and thus ensure that replies are correctly routed.

So I turned POP on so that the SMTP server would work, and have tried both SSL & TLS in the FMP SMTP setup dialogue.
