I'm not able to telnet to smtp.gmail.com 587; I get a "connection refused". I anticipate this since all indications suggest gmail drops connections it feels are insecure or unsafe.

(for example using netcat or telnet) You mentioned that you use postfix install as your MTA ... you can then switch monit to use your postfix instead of gmail: set mailserver 127.0.0.1 Regards, Martin On Feb 3, 2012, at 12:43 AM, Simpson, Matt wrote: Good afternoon, everyone.
