Set­up Gmail as Re­lay host

Ed­it /etc/postfix/main.cf as fol­low. 

sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
#Ap­ply
# This tells Postfix to hand off all messages to Gmail, and never do direct delivery.
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587

# This enables TLS (SMTPS) certificate verification, because Gmail has a valid one.
smtp_tls_security_level = verify
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/run/smtp_tls_session_cache

# This tells Postfix to provide the username/password when Gmail asks for one.
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

In /​​​etc/​​​postfix/​​​sasl_​​​passwd, add your Gmail user­name and pass­word. 

sudo nano /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
#Ap­ply
[smtp.gmail.com]:587    user-name@gmail.com:app-password

# Note you must setup App Password at https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/apppasswords

Com­pile the sasl_​​​passwd file in­to a data­base and re­load Postfix's main con­fig­u­ra­tion. 

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd && sudo postfix reload
