Does your configuration states smtp.gmail.com:587 to be the relay for your server?

Hi,

You mean this?:

Code:
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]

You need to have
Code:
relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = /etc/postfix/sasl_auth << your file where you have stored gmail user and password
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext
You can achieve using

Code:
echo smtp.gmail.com user@gmail.com:password > /etc/postfix/sasl_password
postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_password
postconf -e smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_password
postconf -e smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
postconf -e smtp_cname_overrides_servername=no
postconf -e smtp_use_tls=yes
postfix reload

Well, both outputs are the same O_O

Hi and good morning,

i manually added this > smtp.gmail.com:587 for the relay in main.cf, wanted to use echo smtp.gmail.com user@gmail.comassword > /etc/postfix/sasl_password but they gave me bash: /etc/postfix/sasl_password: Permission denied. Well, i guess even if i manually add the line it should be the same(:

add on: i realised that it should be sasl_passwd is it.

Anyways,
i got this output when i run the postmap command for sasl_passwd and restarted postfix:

Code:
xanios@ubuntu:~$ sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
xanios@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart

I suppose i have to re-run postmap for sasl_passwd and restart postfix everytime i change something in the main.cf am i right?

You need canonical name for smtp.gmail.com. Do nslookup on smtp.gmail.com and see what it returns. And use that address.

nslookup smtp.gmail.com should be the command. What you did was just open the nslookup prompt. You can type the domain there as well.

This is the output for nslookup for smtp.gmail.com

Code:
Non-authoritative answer:
smtp.gmail.com	canonical name = gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Name:	gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com <<--- Use this instead of smtp.gmail.com in relayhost option.
Address: 72.14.213.109
