I have a voip server that receives faxes in a tif file. I use fax2email to convert the tif to a pdf and send it as an attachment over postfix. My isp blocks port 22, so I've setup a gmail account to use as a relay. That generally works.

But, every once in a while, authentication fails. When I try to log in over the web, gmail requires not just userword and password, but also a CAPTCHA. That's obviously why postfix authentication won't work.

I've unlocked the CAPTCHA, so the gmail account works now.

Anybody know why the gmail account required the CAPTCHA? How can I keep it from happening again? The account is only used by postfix for this purpose. Is there some postfix magic I'm missing?
