Use gmail as smtp

[toketog]

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

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 ;-))

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

# if it spits error, you've done something wrong, else all good so try sending a mail from the command line

Code: Select all

echo "VestaCP-Test Mail sent $(date +"%T")" | mail -s Testing <youremailid>

if you receive the mail from the ID you used in /etc/exim4/passwd.client you are good to go.
