Use gmail as smtp
Use gmail as smtp
Hello, it's been a lot of days since i was trying to use gmail as smtp server. I've tried a lot of settings without success. So, i'm asking for your help. Do you know what i need to modify in order to make this work? The only settings that i made was on exim configuration file
Re: Use gmail as smtp
depending on what you're using as distro whis might be a good read: https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 (esp. starting with dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config ;-))

Re: Use gmail as smtp
ref : http://www.pontikis.net/blog/gmail-smar ... im4-debian
nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
smtp.gmail.com::587:
/etc/exim4/passwd.client
smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]:gmail_password
or you can use wizard:
# if it spits error, you've done something wrong, else all good so try sending a mail from the command line
if you receive the mail from the ID you used in /etc/exim4/passwd.client you are good to go.
nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
smtp.gmail.com::587:
/etc/exim4/passwd.client
smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]:gmail_password
or you can use wizard:
Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
|- 2nd option Mail Sent by Smarthost: recieved via smtp...
|- provide FQDN
|- 127.0.0.0
|- enter
|- enter
|- smtp.gmail.com::587
|- No
|- No
|- whatever
|- Split files -- YES
Code: Select all
nano /etc/exim4/passwd.client
|- *.google.com:[email protected]:gmail_password
Code: Select all
update-exim4.conf
service exim4 restart
Code: Select all
echo "VestaCP-Test Mail sent $(date +"%T")" | mail -s Testing <youremailid>
