Hi @postfixuser

Like the error says, Authentication Required, so have you setup a username and password for relaying?
If you're using G Suite, it's recommended to use the SMTP Relay:

    Did you follow the troubleshooting tips described here?
    https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError

    And your sasl_passwd should look like this:

    [smtp.gmail.com]:587  your-email@gmail.com:yourPassword

      sorry for the mistype,, my sasl file looks exactly what you mentioned and yes i followed those steps still no luck.I am just confused why emails are sent to spam without realy and with relay messages are not sent i have done alot of researh from past few weeks followed lots of tutorial.Is it something related to my IP ?

        @postfixuser

        I don't know, since I've never used Gmail SMTP - only G Suite SMTP Relay.
        I'm pretty sure your problem would be solved by tips in the Google article.

        If you setup your Postfix without relay, then it's sending the message, which means you need to setup the entire mail server, have your own domain and a few things more - otherwise you'll definitely end up in spam.

        What do you want to send from your server?
