Indeed. The first thing you should do to make it work with gmail's SMTP server is to "dpkg-reconfigure -plow email-reminder" and set the from address to be your gmail address. I don't think that gmail likes invalid addresses like "root@localhost". Then you need to enable authentication and potentially SSL. I'm not sure how to do it in Exim, but in Postfix, here's what I've got in my /etc/postfix/main.cf: # smarthost configuration using Gmail over SSL relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587 smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_security_level = fingerprint smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers = high smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3 smtp_tls_fingerprint_digest = sha1 smtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match = F3:92:AE:B4:28:FE:64:03:6F:E1:55:ED:71:9E:5F:F6:88:90:5A:57 and I've got this in my /etc/postfix/sasl_password: smtp.gmail.com yourusern...@gmail.com:yourpassword You can then test your mail server to make sure it sends out emails by using the "mail" utility on the command line. Once that works, you can try email-reminder again.
