Dear Lerato,Invenio natively doesn't support SMTP authentication and TLS (which you would need for using GMAIL). However, I just created a patch that solves this issue and which hopefully can make it into Invenio 1.1 release (http://invenio-software.org/repo/personal/invenio-lnielsen/commit/?h=smtp-user-pass&id=6e0ca56463049724cbb6bf120577e52a4e35f735). I tested this patch with both Gmail and Amazon SES and it works nicely.
I'm not too familiar with setting up Postfix, but as far as I know you just need to set it up as a smarthost (see e.g. http://fiendie.net/using_postfix_as_smarthost_satellite_system) which could then send it via your gmail account.

Hi Everyone, I have configured invenio before using an external company SMTP server, but now I do not have access to such a server and want to know if its possible to configure Invenio with a gmail account? Or how to configure Postfix correctly to use my Invenio server with it as MTA with out problems. My invenio installation does not send out email notifications at the moment, also when I try to register a new user, it gives out an error that the email address I provided is not valid, even when it is valid. Please guide to a well configured MTA so that my email notifications work correctly. Regards. Lerato
