I would like to send directly through gmail, since we have google apps and use gmail as our domain email.

I would like to get rid of sendgrid so I can possibly not be marked as spam.

I found this https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/ubuntu-postfix-gmail-smtp/ which shows how to setup postfix to use gmail smtp, but shows that it uses port 587, and I know that my current setup with sendgrid uses port 2525.

Is it possible to push like this through gmail?

    You can use whatever port you want. Just do it and ask if any problems arise.

As mentioned in this article you can send emails using your Google Compute Engine instance through ports 587, 465 using Google Apps.

To send email through ports 587 or 465, you can use your Google Apps domain if you have one.

There is a sending limit when relaying through Gmail account. You can go through this link for more information on the sending limits.

I hope that helps.

  • huh.. Odd that when I google'd like crazy, I didn't get that page, but always got the google sendgrid page on how to set it up. Jul 22, 2015 at 13:00
  • And that link doesn't really give you the example of how to do it, or what settings to use. Jul 22, 2015 at 13:04
  • This link (cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/…) has the steps to configure Postfix with sendgrind on GCE. To configure SMTP relay service for Postfix using Gmail you can follow the steps on this link (support.google.com/a/answer/2956491?hl=en).

Here is what I followed Configure Postfix to Use Gmail SMTP

This worked and I currently am testing it with my own personal gmail account.

took about 5 minutes to setup.
