as for the name i think it is correct cuz i'm using my personel gmail account, i fount that name on many howto articles , all of them mention this name smtp.google.com
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.

i change smtp.google.com to smtp-relay.gmail.com and i get in the log the following
-
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..
-
i didn't receive the email in my inbox and no email in /var/mail/root

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.

you very very very clearly did not read what I entered and then quoted myself with just a few posts above.

There you go, that part is working now.

The text of the log is much easier to read than a screenshot of it.
