CentOS - Feb 2015 - setting up centos 6 x86_64 to relay through gmail

I have setup my machine to relay through smtp.gmail.com

installed cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain

Added to access:

AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com                 "U:smmsp" "I:my
accont" "P:my pass"
"M:PLAIN"
AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com:587             "U:smmsp" "I:my
account" "P:my
pass" "M:PLAIN"

Added to sendmail.mc
the SMART_HOST smtp.gmail.com
uncommented the pki lines
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `/etc/pki/tls/certs')dnl
define(`confCACERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt')dnl
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl

set the confAUTH_MECHANISMS

restarted sendmail


It seems like sendmail is trying to use port 25 as the log shows
"connection timeout".

I did this to two other machines and it worked. the third one is being
stubborn.

Any suggestions to look at ???

telnet smtp.gmail.com 25

from the server. works?

I see these 2 entries all the time in different writeups in the net. 
Why? The only AuthInfo entry that will be picked up is the one matching 
the target host.

You missed an important step in your sendmail.mc setup:
