SMTP on Lion, Again!

I completely forgot that i'd blogged a solution for this before. This time I used gmail for outbound email due to ntl/virgin using a dodgy port for SSL connection.

Kudos to this page for helping - http://slashusr.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/enabling-postfix-for-outbound-relay-via-gmail-on-os-x-lion-11/

I followed it, ignoring all the parts about mapping mapping local users to 'real' email addresses.

As I have two phase login for gmail I had to generate an 'application specific' password for my postfix relay.
