    I've gone through the many, very similar, tutorials for setting up exim4 to send mail through my gmail account, but I still get

    530-5.5.1 Authentication Required.

    errors. I've gone through this exersize with a different pi with a raspbian installation with the same results.

    I was wondering if this is an issue with google, or I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.

    I finally got it to work. If you're going to use google to send your email, I recommend getting it working before installing the fax. I'm now getting faxes sent to "faxmaster" as well as the email set up by the add extension. I may just remove the hylafax packages and reinstall them using the script.

    I ended up going the scorched earth method and removed and reinstalled exim4 since I managed to muck things up earlier. That means both "apt-get remove" and "apt-get purge" of the following packages: exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light

    If you installed hylafax already, it will remove that as well. Probably best to reinstall from the raspbx script.

    I also had to make sure that both gmail and google were in my passwd.client:

    *.google.com:[email protected]:mypassword
    *.gmail.com:[email protected]:mypassword
    

    And make sure I set up less secure apps to access my account.
