Exactly. I used to send system email out through gmail, but after periodic
breakages in that route due to Google security changes, I realized keeping
these emails within my local network was a more reliable, lower hassle
alternative for me: postfix/dovecot/mutt. I just use it for system mails,
so config was straightforward. No more gmail config hassles, no more Google
reading my emails. The one time I’ve been hacked was through gmail, so I’ve
also eliminated a security risk.

Not the answer to the question asked, so possibly not a useful one, but
maybe food for thought.
