E-mail Issue

Hi everyone,
I have been working this e-mail issue for a while and can't seem to fix. Is there any configuration required other than System>Advanced>Notifications ?
My configuration is below. Any help is appreciated.

Basically changed email server from smtp.gmail.com to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com and set the port to 25
E-mail Server:alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
SMTP Port of E-Mail server:25
Uncheck "Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS" or "Enable STARTTLS"

That post was dated "2010".
Google - gmail - did change some - if not all - procedures.

E-mail Server:alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

Uncheck "Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS" or "Enable STARTTLS"

I used this :
https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en (the original, up to date doc from gmail about gmail :) )
Works great using port 465 - SSL on, etc. ( Secure SMTP Connection Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS ) and "smtp.gmail.com" as the smtp server address.
I also entered my gmail login and password.
Of course, if gmail doesn't know about "pfsense" or the IP your are 'sending' from, you might run into th" "was this you ?" gmail protections schemes. But that's nothing new.

I guess, if you need to use "alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com" you have some DNS issues.
