easy.
Just make sure you have it configured main.cf like something similar to this
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:submission
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_type = cyrus
smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtp_use_tls = yes
And your sasl_passwd like this
[smtp.gmail.com]:submission gmailusername:gmailpassword
Then run `postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd' followed by restarting postfix
That's it
