Hi, Kalyan,
For me, the solution was to install "exim4" instead of "smail". But for
you, I think, it's better to follow the method of Lucas.
But if you are interested, I could tell you how to configure it(you'll need to
add a couple lines).
Here it is:
(I assume, that you choose configuration in one file)
in the file "/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template"
you should find the following lines:
### transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost
#################################
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections
# to a smarthost. The local host tries to authenticate and does some
# modification in headers and return-path.
# This transport is used for smarthost and satellite configurations.
remote_smtp_smarthost:
debug_print = "T: remote_smtp_smarthost for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
driver = smtp
hosts_try_auth = ${if exists {CONFDIR/passwd.client}{DCsmarthost}{}}
tls_tempfail_tryclear = false
DEBCONFheaders_rewriteDEBCONF
DEBCONFreturn_pathDEBCONF
#####################################################
You should insert the line "port=587" to make them look like this:
...
remote_smtp_smarthost:
debug_print = "T: remote_smtp_smarthost for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
driver = smtp
###Should be added the following line:
port=587
hosts_try_auth = ${if exists {CONFDIR/passwd.client}{DCsmarthost}{}}
tls_tempfail_tryclear = false
DEBCONFheaders_rewriteDEBCONF
DEBCONFreturn_pathDEBCONF
...
Also, in the file "/etc/exim4/passwd.client" you should add for example:
*:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:your_googlemail_password
That's all folks!
Roma, out
