I am trying to setup google as mail relay but running into some troubles.
I get an error that
550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist
My custom main in pfsense looks like this:
relayhost = [smtp-relay.gmail.com]:587
#Defining domain and hostname- Test
myhostname = vpn.example.com
mydomain = example.com
myorigin = example.com
# Add TLS
#
# SMTPD
#
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/cert.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/cert.key
smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/cert.pem
smtpd_tls_security_level = may
# SMTP Client
smtp_tls_security_level = may
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/cert.pem
# SSL-Certificate - Generate logfile entries
#
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtp_tls_loglevel = 1
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
When I try sendmail from pfsense server my log file says the following:
Aug 11 14:59:07 <host> postfix/smtp[49764]: > smtp-relay.gmail.com[173.194.220.28]:587: MAIL FROM:<> SIZE=3532

I don't understand why the smtp header MAIL FROM: <> is empty and why RCPT says root@example.com instead of the one I tried sendmail to which was something like BM@example.com.
