        Maybe that used to be okay, maybe they are all typos. But Google says it is wrong and it is Google you are trying to connect to, so I'd listen to Google here.

          Don't read a how to. Read the official instructions first. then read a how to if you cannot figure it out.

              Go check your /var/mail/root
              and your Inbox. 🙂

                Follow the instructions. Google's response message said to go verify/allow the IP in your Google Apps account..

                      This means you are NOT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

                        Google suggests that you use this name: smtp-relay.gmail.com

                        That is specific to Google Apps. I thought he was using a personal Gmail account. That would be smtp.gmail.com

                        I get really really really tired of being nice to people that do not follow basic instructions.

                                I thought we covered this. Because it is the wrong name and does not exist. You should not be able to look it up.

                                  There is no question here, the name you have chosen is not correct.
