Just a minute. Your password hash file is sasl_passwd. Are you sure about it? Or there were typo mistakes in the previous posts? And you need to have noplaintext option in tls_security_options as well.

You have not changed this. And look at the link that I have given previously. Just sending mails using external SMTP relay is not too difficult. You just need to know what you are doing. Thats it. Read the link from top to bottom and you will get what you need to do.

Authentication Required. The email address and password i entered in sasl_passwd are correct. What caused this? :S
EDITED:
i tried this:
Code:
xanios@ubuntu:~$ postmap -q mailrelay.example.com /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap: warning: database /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
xanios@ubuntu:~$
I guess it is because of the above problem that caused them to give me 'Authentication Required'. But how to resolve it x_x

It should be 587. Google I guess uses 587 port for SMTP. You need to read the link I have posted and try accordingly first.

Hi,
i read the link, but there didn't really specify how to change it to 587 instead of 25.
But i changed this:
Code:
relayhost = gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com:587
and i still got connection refused:
Code:
Aug 4 22:43:40 ubuntu postfix/smtp[4861]: 2517340A63: to=<xanios@server.com>, relay=none, delay=21, delays=0.01/0/21/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com[74.125.127.109]:587: Connection refused)
It has changed from 25 to 587, but the error still remains.

This does mean that your sasl_passwd file has something to do with it. Delete the file and then as a root user run
echo smtp.gmail.com
user@gmail.com assword > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Yes that is correct. You need to be root. So either login as root on terminal or use sudo.

Hmm, when i was trying to delete the file:
Code:
xanios@ubuntu:~$ rm -r /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
rm: remove write-protected regular file `/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd'? [i pressed 'enter' here]
in my previous sasl_passwd file, the password is my REAL password for gmail account. that should be okay right? or should i just put 'password' instead?
