You are right I cannot talk to any domain's MX. My ISP is cox and

I have no idea what my login is to my cox account.
Neither smtp.east.cox.net nor smtp.west.cox.net work for you?
Perhaps
the mx.*.cox.net servers are for incoming *only*. But I am just
speculating -- best to verify this with your ISP.
I will try again when I get to work.
Also see:

Relay Host would probably be my only option. However using postfix
relay with
gmail seems to be a *lot* of work
It is not a lot of work at all; what gave you the assumption that
it is?
This url suggests so.

I could skip the signing part and just a .pem file. But seems like I
will also need a Thawte certificate.
Well it is doable but not a snap like install nullmailer and stunnel
and just create a fake circitificate
and talk to gmail on port 465. :-)
No need to jump through such hoops. You do not need certs or .pem
files to relay through gmail. Search the archives of this mailing list
for examples, and discard that tutorial!
