Hi all,

I recently installed OSSEC 2.8.1 on a Debian machine, and I really don't 
understand how this email setup works. My config file looks like this:

<global>
  <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
  <email_to>[email protected]</email_to>
  <smtp_server>alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com</smtp_server>
  <email_from>[email protected]</email_from>
</global>

I got the impression that this is all you have to do to get it to work. But 
I get the following errors in the log:
WARN: End of DATA not accepted by server
ERROR: Error Sending email to [gmail server ip] (smtp server)

When I look this up, no one has a clear response. For some people, this 
works! For others, they had no choice but to make their own smtp server. 
I'm concerned about all the possible security risks that come with making 
my own smtp server, so I was hoping this would handle it for me. Is this 
possible? Do I need to put in a key somewhere? Or is something like ssmtp 
or postfix the only way to go?

Thanks!
