193 #smtp_gateway         = 172.26.0.222                        # indicated machine will forward email for you
194 smtp_gateway         = smtp.gmail.com:465:ssl:gbrowsehpc:secret   # use gmail with account "joe.user" and password "secret"
195 # smtp_gateway         = none                                      # disable outgoing email
196 #smtp_gateway           = none  # disable outgoing email
