I have created local linux user account on my Postfix+DoveCot server. I
also can access the content of my mailbox from my KMail. I am so happy
but once I try to send email (testing the smtp) than I realize that I
can't send an email from my email client (KMail).

I use this setting on my email client:
1. 'incoming mailserver' == 'outgoing mailserver' ==
'mail.mygoogle.com' (pseudonome).

Don't use a .com for you local smtp server. Use a completely faked, non existing, domain, unless you do really have an internet domain name and are going to set a "real" mail server there.

Why do I say that? Because mygoogle.com is registered, it does exist.

Use something like "mail.myserver.mydomain" instead, never a .com, .org, etc.


Also username and password are all the
same between incoming/outgoing mailserver, namely the local userlogin of
LINUX. As the username, I put 'ricky' (but not 'ricky@xxxxxxxxxxxx').
2. smtp authentication: No encryption and plaintext.

The error message on my KMail is:
"
Sending failed:
Your SMTP server does not support The server responded: "5.7.8 Error:
authentication failed: generic failure". Choose a different
authentication method. The server responded: "5.7.8 Error:
authentication failed: generic failure" The message will stay in the
'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken
address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. The following
transport was used: mygoogle.com Do you want me to continue sending
the remaining messages?


Get the log from postfix and post it here. The part pertaining to you sending attempt.
