I tried to set up **postfix** with Google as its relay host but failed
miserably.
Google switched to **OAuth2** authentication and deprecated other authentication
methods. This is why I tried to use the new OAuth2 authentication and not
the old user/password one.
As far as I understand, postfix does not do any SASL authentication
itself but relies on other applications like **Cyrus SASL**. And there
exists a plugin for Cyrus doing OAuth2 authentication:
But from here on I'm lost. I do not understand how to configure postfix/cyrus
correctly to use OAuth2 authentication.
I managed to set up getmail to fetch mail from Google using OAuth2
authentication. And I was hoping that it would be not much more difficult to do
the same with postfix and Cyrus. But I think I was wrong.
It's difficult to ask specific questions. I changed the configuration
files so many times that I probably screwed it up completely.
But I was wondering if there exists more documentation on how to configure
postfix to use a relay host with OAuth2 authentication?
