[ossec-list] Re: Alerts not mailing out, OSSEC 1.2 and Ubuntu Feisty

I agree with David, you are trying to use Google as a relay, and you
shouldn't.  Either put an MTA on your system and sendmail where
you want it, or else simply send it to an account on Google.  You
can't expect Google to simply send messages on your domain's
behalf...that would allow spam peeps to use Google as a relay.
