Hi: Great Tutorial.. thanks for sharing. Add please that you have to enable on Google account settiings "enable access to less secure apps" (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en). If you don't do it.. will not work.
ReplyDeleteAlso.. add set smtp_authenticators = 'gssapi:login' on the config... :-)
