There's no reason to take it all so personally. This list is extremely helpful if you just do a bit of preliminary research, and don't just go off one third-party document. It also wasn't clear why you wanted to relay via Gmail servers. There's a doco on SOHO configurations in the Postfix READMEs or on postfix.org: http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html And it's often easier to just send via your ISP than directly through Google's SMTP servers. But a doco here has sending via Mutt using msmtp as the MTA (Postfix works fine instead): http://www.andrews-corner.org/mutt.html Provide logs if the SOHO document doesn't help you.
