Hi!

I am trying to get my bubba to relay emails through gmail's smtp server.
I try to do this through the web admin -> Mail -> Server settings, and changing the Outgoing email server.

It seems that what happens is what's described in this how to:

But I can't manage to get it to work.

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you read this tutorial:
http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/S ... sing_gmail ?

Thanks!

I followed that guide, but the result is not what I wanted
It results in an e-mail that is sent from my gmail address.
I want it to be like this:
Sender: My bubba user (myname@mydomain.org)
What happens is: My bubba user (mygmailuser@gmail.com)

And if I hit reply on the e-mail it goes to the gmail address, not myname@mydomain.org.

Am I making sense?

IIRC, I think that is a "feature" of Google's SMTP server and there's nothing you can do about it.

That is correct, unfortunately.

I suppose I should ask why you want to use Google's smtp server? I assume your ISP doesn't have one and/or blocks port 25.

The reason is my server was hacked several years ago and was used for spam e-mail. Since then I'm a bit afraid of having my own smtp server running. Might need to let go of that fear

Well there are other options beside Google. Smtp.com for example.
