Talking to gmail.com with a local sendmail

Show all headers | View raw

For some time now gmail accounts have been rejecting email from
my freebsd box with a "host is not authenticated" message. I gather
this is related to my not configuring TLS authentication (at least)
and maybe Google's desire to push me to get a gmail account, which
I'd rather not do.

Is there any literature on the 'net regarding what it takes to set
up a sendmail server to communicate successfully to a gmail account?
The server in question is FreeBSD stable/14 with the default sendmail
configuration. Reverse DNS works, so that would seem to provide a
traceable identity via my domain registrar. Mail to other destinations
goes through without a hitch. 

I've looked into the matter in the past and gotten lost in the
weeds, as I'm not a programmer, just a somewhat adventurous user.

If anybody knows a clear description of what's required please
leave a link!

Thanks for reading,

bob prohaska
