Warning: Only try this if you know what you’re doing.<br><br>

I took the information from [http://carlton.oriley.net/blog/?p=31 this page] and modified them slightly for Fedora 14 / Amahi 6. <br><br>

First of all, install postfix and remove sendmail: <br>

{{Code|yum -y install postfix

yum -y remove sendmail}}

{{Code|yum -y install openssl openssl-perl}}

A Certificate Authority is needed to create the necessary certificates. You can skip the next paragraph if you already have one:<br>

{{Code|cd /etc/pki/tls/misc

./CA.pl –newca}}

*You will be prompted for the file name, hit enter to create a new CA.

* You will need to enter a passphrase next, be sure to remember it.

*For the Common Name, type “CA” (without quotes).

*Take defaults for everything else and when prompted enter the passphrase from above.<br>

{{Code|cd /etc/pki/tls

mkdir gmail_relay

Add the following to the bottom of the file /etc/postfix/main.cf.

You do not need to change anything else in it, as the last setting for any option is the one that is saved.

relayhost <nowiki>=</nowiki> [smtp.gmail.com]:587

smtpd_tls_req_ccert <nowiki>=</nowiki>no

smtp_tls_enforce_peername <nowiki>=</nowiki> no}}

{{Text|Text=gmail-smtp.l.google.com user@gmail.com:password

smtp.gmail.com user@gmail.com:password}}

Obviously, you need to change ''user'' to your username and ''password'' to your gmail password. <br>

Create the password database: <br>

{{Code|postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd}}

{{Code|chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db

Restart Postfix

{{Code|/etc/init.d/postfix restart}}
