I'm also using similar configuration since 1.8 years using Gmail's SMTP as mail relay for my local Postfix. And instead of using SMTPS port which is SMTP-over-SSL, I'm using smtp.gmail.com:25, which is a plain-text SMTP. Ofcourse my postfix then switches to TLS. > >when i try to send a test mail to my gmail acct. the following is logged. > >Sep 3 00:50:24 localhost postfix/smtp[4258]: 0348D27578: to=< >[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[209.85.143.109]:465, >delay=657, delays=56/0.01/601/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation >with smtp.gmail.com[209.85.143.109] timed out while receiving the initial >server greeting) Aug 30 11:55:15 chateau postfix/smtp[19013]: 6F3FFF4B5B: to=<ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[209.85.143.109]:25, delay=8.8, delays=0.03/0.03/5.5/3.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1220077498 d7sm3392119tib.4) >do i need to specify my WAN ip in main.cf, or is there some other issue? So the issue is Postfix expecting plain-text SMTP. I've followed Gmail + Postfix + Fetchmail HOWTO[1]. Though my configuration is somewhat different from what is mentioned in the HOWTO.
