Comment on Postfix Gmail SMTP Relay by practicalclouds

Great article, thanks – still very useful today, despite being a few years old!

I found that simply relaying from a server containing a postfix install via google can work without having to create the SSL certs at all. I created the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file and added this to /etc/postfix/main.cf instead: -

relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587

#auth
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

#tls
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
smtp_tls_enforce_peername = no

Very easy as creating the cert was the fiddly bit – and one that I wished to automate, as I’m adding a profile for an Amazon EC2 instances which will do this automatically when you start up a new instance (it is a pain to relay email from Amazon EC2 as it is generally not trusted).

Once written the profile will be here: http://www.practicalclouds.com/content/guide/gmailrelay (I’ll be sure to link back here)

Many thanks

This toolkit is kind of a nightmare.. The first thing I’ve tried to do is GetCategories, and the CategoryArray property is empty.

I know this is old, but just in case someone comes across this,

placing: m.select() on the line before the search solves this problem.
