[gentoo-user] SMTP relay settings with Telus

[thelma]

Just switched to Telus from Shaw and for some reason, there either isn't a working SMTP relay

So all those linux email notification stop working, what is the solution?

Not quite sure what the issue is.  Were you using the Shaw mail servers
as you MX host?  Or are you having issues with connecting to your mail
server through Telus?

We don't have enough information to answer that, unless someone has
gone through the same situation as you're going through.  We'll need
more information about exactly what is going on.

Yes, I was using Shaw for my remote and local system to send emails to me after compilation and system notification.
So after switching to Telus, it all ended.

I've tried configure remote host to send email via Google SMTP but it doesn't work either:

main.cf
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
smtp_use_tls = yes

/etc/postfix/saslpass
[smtp.gmail.com]:587 email@gmail.com:password

But the above is not working either.
