ossec

Try to setup OSSEC to use google gmail to send my alerts like so:

 <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
<email_to>[email protected]</email_to>
<smtp_server>smtp.gmail.com</smtp_server>
<email_from>ossec@host</email_from>

Then I set email alerts value to 3 and restart ossec. This does not trigger email alert.

how to correctly send alerts with gmail?
better way to test if mails are sending out?
