I can't get Postfix
to send an email from the CMD via Gmail SMTP on Raspbian Buster Lite.
I will refer as sss@gmail.com
to the sending mail and rrr@gmail.com
to the receiving one.
I tried to configure Postfix
according to different guides, including this one and this one, without being able to make it work.
Here's my settings:
(I was forced to insert those 2 in 3rd party services because it was recognized as spam by the editor)
/etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_passwd
[smtp.gmail.com]:587 sss@gmail.com:<pw generated via Google security settings>
Launching
sudo systemctl restart postfix
then
echo "Test mail" | mail -s "This is a test mail" rrr@gmail.com
and then
sudo tail -f /var/log/mail.log
I get the following error messages:

I'm pretty sure it's caused by a bad Postfix reconfiguration, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks for your time :)
