Using Gmail from Linode Ubuntu Server
Not exactly a Linode issue, but I need to prepare before I migrate..
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with apache2 and PHP.
I would like to set up a google email that sends an order form to the originator as well as the business using Gmail.
I am using Vbox on a windows machine and eventually will move to Linode.
I am currently using my gmail account for testing. I have the php.ini configured as well as the Ubuntu sendmail. I do get a success message from the PHP mail() process, but I never receive the email.
I am wondering if I need SSL in my Vbox environment?

Did you make a support request to open ports 25, 465 and 587 on your Linode? See: https://www.linode.com/blog/linode/a-new-policy-to-help-fight-spam/
