Right. But there are many good guides on the net available that describe setting up SMTP Auth in detail. And setting up Postfix for use with Gmail. I didn't want to replicate those guides, poorly. I was simply commenting upon the Debian package installation forms. And furthering that comment... I am pretty sure that anything entered into the form at that point becomes set as the relayhost value. Which means enclosing with brackets to avoid the MX lookup or using only the domain name or whatever. I am pretty sure it is simply transfered verbatim. But agreed that further configuration will still be needed. As to guides on the net... I am not using Google's Gmail so I don't know about the quality of these guides below but a quick search found these that seem topical. https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/configure-postfix-to-send-mail-using-gmail-and-google-apps-on-debian-or-ubuntu/ https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/configure-postfix-to-use-gmail-as-a-mail-relay/ And this one is in the www.postfix.org/docs.html page. http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html Bob
