Add gmail as smarthost to Debian exim4
I would like to know how to configure exim4 on Debian so that it can use gmail as a smarthost and not my ISP. It seems that TLS needs to be configured and of course the gmail userid and password. The "standard" example smarthost that ships with exim4 on Debian does not have this information.

The above solution didn't work for some reason, but the solution here worked for me.

The only change I made was to use xyz@mydomain.com
instead xyz@gmail.com
in the "begin authenticators" section.
First install stunnel4 and set it to display [127.0.0.1]:587
in smtp.gmail.com:465
the following way:
client=yes
[smtp-gmail]
accept = 587
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
Then reconfigure exim4:
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
Configure exim4 to use a large number of small files, smarthost via localhost: 587
Modify / etc / exim4 / passwd.client and add:
localhost:yourname@gmail.com:yourpassword
Don't forget to check the permissions and then run:
update-exim4.conf
This should do it.
