Using Gmail as SMTP relay to send email from SimpleLogin

port 25 blocked by ISP...?

you can use postfix with a Gmail SMTP relay... So Postfix will send on port 587.

How to:

• create a Gmail account

• set MFA

• create an app password

• update firewall's rules for port 587

• update Postfix conf:

=> nano /etc/postfix/master.cf

view system logs => tail -f /var/log/syslog

view postfix logs => tail -f /var/log/mail.log

view postfix queue => mailq

delete postfix queue => postsuper -d ALL
