I did this a while a go, when i was getting asterisk to forward my home voice mail to me and my wifes email address’.
Add the following to your sendmail.mc
define(`SMART_HOST’,`smtp.gmail.com:465′)
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS’, `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN’)dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo’,`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info’)dnl
Create the auth directory
mkdir /etc/mail/auth
create the client-info file which will contain the smtp logon credentials
create the client-info file which will contain the smtp logon credentials
Add the content
AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com “U:root” “I:GMAILUSER@gmail.com” “P:PASSWORD”
where GMAILUSER = your gmail username and PASSWORD = your password set the permissions
chmod 600 /etc/mail/auth *
and recompile your sendmail.cf using which ever method your distro says is best (mine in ubuntu 7.04)
sendmailconfig
st and check /var/log/mail.log for errors. bish bosh wallop!

There is some little thing wrong there.
I get the error below when trying to recompile on webmin
Failed to build configuration :
NONE:0: m4: ERROR: end of file in argument list
Googling it, I´ve found:

But where is the wrong tick-tick here?
tks
Does not work for me: ubuntu 7.04, trying to relat to smtp.o2.co.uk.
Can not get it work either with telnet smtp.o2.co.uk 25,
get error message:
ubu7 sm-mta[15684]: m2JKTXF1015682: SYSERR(root): hash map “authinfo”: unsafe map file /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db: Permission denied
Any suggestions?

eli, et al:
It seems the instructions above miss a step.
After creating the client-info file in the auth directory, you must run the following command.
makemap -r hash client-info.db < client-info
Then, you should continue with recompiling the sendmail.cf file.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
besides the missing makemap instruction, pay attention to use traditionnal ” and ‘ in your configuration files. If you copy paste, you will have to modify them by hand (both in client-info and sendmail.mc).
Do we need some exact authentication/transfer protocols to be available in sendmail version maybe? How to check them?
Sep 7 12:23:50 localhost sendmail[1593]: STARTTLS=client, relay=smtp.gmail.com, version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=RC4-MD5, bits=128/128
Sep 7 12:23:50 localhost sendmail[1593]: AUTH=client, relay=smtp.gmail.com [209.85.129.99], authinfo failed
Please have a look at the newer version of the instructions http://www.james-lloyd.com/getting-sendmail-use-gmail-as-a-relay-2/
Thank you K3nt1 for the tip. The un-traditional ” in the auth file caused me the same problem. Thanks to you it’s now solved
