Mail error 530 5.5.1 when sending emails


AIM:
We currently generate newsfeed email alerts to our subscribers when new news articles get published.
Our system generates numerous mails and via installed Postfix 2.2 this sends via our gateway mailserver smtp:mail2.example.com server for delivery.
We are wanting to remove the smtp:mail2.example.com server and thus now our MX records now specify google servers responsible for accepting email on behalf of example.com.
To remove smtp:mail2.example.com gateway server from this current architecture we want our mail to be passed to google for delivery.

Well, the problem appears to be a login/authentication issue. Since you're wanting to use Gmail as the upstream relay, you have to configure Postfix to send things along and authenticate. You're missing a piece somewhere.

Hi TB0ne
Thanks for the reply ...
I've just picked this up from a colleague who left so am only passing on what I've been given; no, I've not personally read any of those links but I sure will.
The link that google provided didn't seem to offer much help to my former colleage but from what I understand, he read it and it didn't help matters.
I'll have a read of the links though and post back, fingers crossed!
