 |
|
I found a guide on the Internet teaches people how to relay their emails from home linux box to smtp.gmail.com
The guide, however, asssumes smtp.gmail.com uses the default port 25, which is no longer the case.
Gmail now uses 465.
So how do I correctly specify this port information with postfix? I have several files here:
main.cf
master.cf
generic
sasl_passwd
transport
do they all need the port information? For those that do, what's the correct format? Please help! I am so close to getting my own outgoing mail server working! |

You can specific non-standard ports like this in Postfix.
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:465 |

is that the only place? Because there are several references to smtp.gmail.com in all these files, and I wasn't quite sure which one should have the port specified and which one didn't have to. |
