3. Now run:

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

4. Prepare the postfix main config file:

sudo vim /etc/postfix/main.cf

5. Add/update these lines

    relayhost=smtp.gmail.com:587
    smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
    smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
    smtp_use_tls=yes
    smtp_tls_security_level=encrypt
    tls_random_source=dev:/dev/urandom
    smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
