How to setup exim4 on Debian to use Gmail
Why bother configuring an SMTP mail server on your Linux desktop? Especially if you can send and receive all your emails within a web browser using your Gmail account, or with an email client such as Thunderbird.
My reasons are twofold:
- Some applications running on my desktop require SMTP to be set up.My desktop computer is used to stage a WordPress blog. For WordPress to send email, an SMTP server is required.
- To redirect local root emails.Some programs such as sudo send emails to alert the root user of critical security events. For instance, after 3 failed sudologin attempts. But unless these emails are forwarded to an Internet email account that I actually monitor, they are useless.
I assume that
- exim4 is already installed
- You have a valid Google Gmail account.
- Reconfigure exim4.By default, exim4 is set up for local email delivery only: no emails to remote domains. You can reconfigure the application using the dpkg-reconfigure command or edit directly the configuration file (/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf).
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
- Specify exim4 parameters.When prompted by dpkg-reconfigure, enter the following values for the respective exim4 parameters.
Parameters Values General type of mail configuration mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail System mail name localhost IP addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections 127.0.0.1
Note: external connections are refused.Other destinations for which mail is accepted Leave empty. Machines to relay mail for Leave empty. IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost smtp.gmail.com::587 Hide local mail name in outgoing mail? No Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)? No Delivery method for local mail mbox format in /var/mail/ Split configuration into small files? No - Provide the Gmail account and password.Append the following to /etc/exim4/passwd.client with the proper Gmail account and password:
*.google.com:yourAccount@gmail.com:yourPassword
This password file contains sensitive account information. You should verify its file permissions and ownership.
$ ls -al /etc/exim4/passwd.client -rw-r----- 1 root Debian-exim 252 Mar 25 17:24 /etc/exim4/passwd.client
If they are different from the above, use the following commands to set file permissions and ownership.
$ sudo chown root:Debian-exim /etc/exim4/passwd.client $ sudo chmod 640 /etc/exim4/passwd.client
- Reload exim4.
$ sudo update-exim4.conf $ invoke-rc.d exim4 restart [ ok ] Stopping MTA for restart: exim4_listener. [ ok ] Restarting MTA: exim4. $ exim4 -qff
The -qff parameter forces a delivery attempt for every message, whether frozen or not.
$ echo test only | mail -s 'Test Subject' myAddress@gmail.com
If you open the email, you will see that the From address in the email header is the Gmail account which you configured in/etc/exim4/passwd.client.
If you experience any issue with exim4, check its log file located at/var/log/exim4/mainlog.
Now that an SMTP server is set up, my next post explains how to redirect local root emails to an Internet email account of your choice.
