TUTORIAL Install gMail as SMTP SmartHost for SendMail

[Jake]

I've reloaded my old PBXIAF to the newest Green version and am trying to get Gmail to work again. It seems like http://pbxinaflash.net/source/sendmail/sendmail.mc.gmail is not working at the moment. Is there another location for this file?

Never mind it is back up again!

Thanks! That worked!

Anybody got sendmail working with gmail under Incredible GUI for Raspberry Pi 2?
If so then what did you do? I've spent 14 hours on it but still no joy.

 

[logos]

Albert S: That's probably as good as you can do. The site seems to be gone.

It wasn't down... but it HAD moved The way FF used to handle some redirects would have caused the endless spinning another poster mentioned.

Pleased that it's helped so many people and continues to do so - I followed this back from a visitor referrer link out of curiosity For the record, the redirect URL is http://www.mysolutions.it/gmail-google-apps-pbx-flash/

Anybody got sendmail working with gmail under Incredible GUI for Raspberry Pi 2?
If so then what did you do? I've spent 14 hours on it but still no joy.

I solved my problem for Shawmail (instead of gmail) as follows: I've got my Raspberry Pi on a static IP address but sendmail needs to have the fully qualified DNS name. The Incredible PBX GUI installation scripts seem to expect FQDN but that can only happen on DHCP so here is what I did:

Note that my PBX has hostname: incrediblepbx.local and IP Address: 192.168.1.253
Note my mail provider is not google but rather: mail.shaw.ca which doesn't authenticate.

Unmangled my /etc/hosts file and included FQDN. The Incredible PBX installation script
wants the file to contain "noreply.incrediblepbx.com" and "raspberrypi" and "pbx.local"
so I left those in but re-ordered the sequences so that it now contains:
  127.0.0.1  localhost pbx.local
  192.168.1.253  incrediblepbx.local incrediblepbx
  #127.0.1.1  noreply.incrediblepbx.com raspberrypi
  127.0.1.1  incrediblepbx.local incrediblepbx noreply.incrediblepbx.com raspberrypi
  #::1  pbx.local localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
  ::1  localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback pbx.local
  fe00::0  ip6-localnet
  ff00::0  ip6-mcastprefix
  ff02::1  ip6-allnodes
  ff02::2  ip6-allrouters
  ff02::3  ip6-allhosts

Fixed my /etc/mailname to contain FQDN like this:
  incrediblepbx.local

Created the statistics gathering file so I don't get warnings:
  # cp /dev/null /var/lib/sendmail/sendmail.st
  # chmod 666 /var/lib/sendmail/sendmail.st

Ensured that my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc contains these lines:
  define(`SMART_HOST', mail.shaw.ca)dnl
  MASQUERADE_AS(`incrediblepbx.local')dnl
  define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `15')

Ran the config generation command:
  # sendmailconfig
  Configure sendmail with the existing /etc/mail/sendmail.conf? [Y] Y
  Configure sendmail with the existing /etc/mail/sendmail.mc? [Y] Y
  Reload the running sendmail now with the new configuration? [Y] Y

Sent a test email and ensured it was received:
  # echo "incredible" | mail -s test [email protected]
Check for it in gmail.

Then I checked /var/log/syslog and /var/log/mail.log to see if sm-mta has any complaints:
-Note: stat=Service unavailable means the mail could not be sent, for any number of reasons.
-Note: STARTTLS errors don't matter when using Shawmail which does not use encryption.

Received mails on the other hand, can be seen in: /var/mail/root

Success!

from Debian 7 -- Errata at https://www.debian.org/releases/whe...ww.debian.org/releases/wheezy/errata#security
says to add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

After that, run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade

BTW, you do NOT want the leading # in the deb line (that comments it out)

Hi , Has anybody got the sendmail.mc.gmail file to work with a Raspberry PI 2. I installed my OS "wheezy" and then installed the incrediblepbx. Set the passwords and next tried the sendmail to gmail fix, after a reboot the sendmail was down. I used this fix on PC based systems running CentOS 6.5 and PIAF3 installer with no problems. My PI is fairly new and the only other thing I'm doing is building a extension and then testing.
Thanks

Hi , Has anybody got the sendmail.mc.gmail file to work with a Raspberry PI 2.

I followed the instructions within the first post of this thread last week and it worked flawlessly.

 

[Dr. Kupka]

Sounds like my problem... I solved this on my Pi : http://pbxinaflash.com/community/in...mail-tutorial-for-sendmail.17788/#post-114815

 

[Charles Berghuis]

Sounds like my problem... I solved this on my Pi : http://pbxinaflash.com/community/in...mail-tutorial-for-sendmail.17788/#post-114815

Still can't get it to work. Are you using a "Raspberry PI 2 Model B" with the "Wheezy" OS? Are you applying this fix before you attempt this GMAIL fix to the Sendmail?

 

[Dr. Kupka]

Are you using a "Raspberry PI 2 Model B" with the "Wheezy" OS?

Yes. 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy. Works with Pi Model B as well as Pi 2 Model B.

Install Asterisk 11 and the Raspberry Pi 2

cd /root
wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblepbx11-12.2.raspbian.tar.gz
tar zxvf incrediblepbx11-12.2.raspbian.tar.gz
rm -f incrediblepbx11-12.2.raspbian.tar.gz
./IncrediblePBX11-12.2-raspbian.sh

reboot
Press Enter to force current updates

Follow Ward´s brilliant tutorial to Install gMail as SMTP Relay Host for SendMail:

cd /etc/mail
hostname -f > genericsdomain
touch genericstable
makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable
mv sendmail.mc sendmail.mc.original
wget http://nerdvittles.dreamhosters.com/pbxinaflash/source/sendmail/sendmail.mc.gmail
cp sendmail.mc.gmail sendmail.mc
mkdir -p auth
chmod 700 auth
cd auth
echo AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com \"U:smmsp\" \"I:user_id\" \"P:password\" \"M:PLAIN\" > client-info
echo AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com:587 \"U:smmsp\" \"I:user_id\" \"P:password\" \"M:PLAIN\" >> client-info
echo AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com:465 \"U:smmsp\" \"I:user_id\" \"P:password\" \"M:PLAIN\" >> client-info
# Stop here and edit client-info (nano -w client-info) in both lines.
# Replace  user_idwith your gMail account name without @gmail.com
# Replace password with your real gMail password
# Be sure to replace the double-quotes shown above if they don't appear in the file!!!
# Save your changes (Ctrl-X, Y, then Enter)
chmod 600 client-info
makemap -r hash client-info.db < client-info
cd ..

Stop here and insert the following code:
"Make" expects the non-existing folder /usr/share/sendmail-cf instead of the existing folder /usr/share/sendmail/cf

mkdir /usr/share/sendmail-cf/
chmod 755 /usr/share/sendmail-cf/
mount --bind /usr/share/sendmail/cf /usr/share/sendmail-cf/
echo "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail-cf none bind 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Complete with the rest of Ward´s code:

make -C /etc/mail
service sendmail restart

reboot

If failure persists:

sendmailconfig
  Configure sendmail with the existing /etc/mail/sendmail.conf? [Y] Y
  Configure sendmail with the existing /etc/mail/sendmail.mc? [Y] Y
  Reload the running sendmail now with the new configuration? [Y] Y

 

[SMTC]

what about the line:
yum -y install sendmail-cf
???????

 

[Dr. Kupka]

It does not seem to be necessary on 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy / Pi2:

apt-get install -y sendmail-cf

sendmail-cf is already the newest version.

Works Perfect!!!
