Postfix and Gmail

2010-03-20 Computing · Linux · Software

I have been using Hudson as a continuous integration server for a short while now and I am super impressed. I have it running on Debian and is really quite feature-full.

One thing that I did have a problem with was with the standard Debian 5 Java environment there was a problem using TLS for mail it seemed, and I didn’t just want to send stuff to gmail’s SMTP server all the time so I configured a local Postfix SMTP relay on another server.

This guide, Send Mail Postfix Through Gmail’s SMTP On A Ubuntu LTS Server helped a lot – but be sure to read the comments as there are some helpful hints.

So now I have it. Hudson running and sending email through my relay to my gmail accounts.

More information on Hudson soon.
