how to setup email with external email server

[aquapura4]

Hi

I am running centOS 7 and have setup a google email server that uses my domain. Basically my webpage is hosted on centOs however I'm using an external email (gmail server). However I want to be able to send and read emails from my centOS server so I can sent out email updates with an automated program.

Can someone please point me in the right direction on how I can achieve this?

Thanks

It is possible to send e-mails from the command line:

hi Tunk thanks for the reply. However this doesn't seem to be what i want as that's just a program that opens and writes to a TCP port. I was looking for a more specialised mail application if one exists...

postfix should be able to do it.Up to now I have prepared only unauthenticated null-client and server and I'm not able to help you with the TLS.
You can check RedHat's guide (if any exist) and try to do it.
