Problem using gmail as mail server

[Simpson, Matt]

Good afternoon, everyone.

 

I am running a fresh postfix install as my MTA on my local Ubuntu 11.10 machine, and I’m using Monit.  I set the following parameters in /etc/monit/monitrc:

 

set mailserver smtp.gmail.com port 587 username “<my username>” password “<my password>” using tlsv1 with timeout 30 seconds

 

however, in monit.log, this is the response:

 

[EST Feb  2 18:38:10] error            : Cannot open a connection to the mailserver ‘smtp.gmail.com:587’ – Transport endpoint is not connected

 

Thanks,

 

Matt Simpson
