unable to send mail from postfix on Ubuntu 12.04
- by gilmad
I'm trying to send an email through Google from my localhost.
(via PHP5.3)
But Google keeps on blocking my requests.
I tried to follow the solutions given to a few similar questions, but for some reason they do not work.
I followed these instructions to configure it - http://www.dnsexit.com/support/mailrelay/postfix.html
Now for the config data:
my main.cf file looks like that:
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_fallback_relay = [relay.google.com]
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
my sasl_passwd looks like that:
[smtp.gmail.com]:587 [email protected]:password
and that is how the mail.log rows look like:
