I just struggled through getting exim setup to use gmail as a
smarthost. Since I had a hard time finding the instructions I needed,
I thought I'd add them here to save someone else some time. Simply
adding:
smtp.gmail.com : drberg1000@xxxxxxxxx : passwd
to /etc/exim4/passwd.client as the docs say didn't work.
After digging on the internet I found somebody's suggestion to add a
second line:
gmail-smtp.l.google.com : drberg1000@xxxxxxxxx: passwd
to /etc/exim4/passwd.client.
Anyway if you want the step by step:
set smtp.gmail.com as the smarthost by either running
'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' or setting
dc_smarthost='smtp.gmail.com' in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.
add the lines:
smtp.gmail.com : drberg1000@xxxxxxxxx : passwd
gmail-smtp.l.google.com : drberg1000@xxxxxxxxx: passwd
to /etc/exim4/passwd.client
One might beable to just use the gmail-smtp.l.google.com server as the
smarthost and follow the directions in the documentation but I didn't
try that.
Hope this helps.
