I'm trying to send an email through Google from my localhost. (via PHP5.3)

But Google keeps on blocking my requests.

I tried to follow the solutions given to a few similar questions, but for some reason they do not work.

I followed these instructions to configure it - http://www.dnsexit.com/support/mailrelay/postfix.html

Now for the config data:

• my main.cf file looks like that:

relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_fallback_relay = [relay.google.com]
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =

• my sasl_passwd looks like that:

[smtp.gmail.com]:587 [email protected]:password

• and that is how the mail.log rows look like:
