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
