Description

Update the guides based on comments in DisQus:

******************************************
In light of the recent announcement that google is disabling access to less secure apps in early 2021: https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/12/less-secure-apps-oauth-google-username-password-incorrect.html
is there some other method to allow postfix to forward outgoing emails through gmail?
I guess the simple alternative here is just to use a regular, non-gsuite, google account for the forwarding.
***********************************************
Great tutorial, but Google is disabling username and password access on February 15, 2021. So how do you setup Postfix to use OAuth instead of a username and password?
****************************************************
I'd be interested to see an extension of this tutorial to properly set up postfix when using DKIM as I think the DKIM signing needs to happen on the postfix side.
