What about passwords that use special characters? Is there a way to quote or escape them in the sasl_passwd_gmail file?
When I follow this I get: (SASL authentication failed; server smtp.gmail.com[173.194.79.108] said: 535-5.7.1 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at?535 5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 is3sm40319265pbc.6)

I know I have the correct password.

  Hello Mike
  
  I’ve took a look at the man page of postmap:
  
  …
  
  The key and value are processed as is, except that surrounding white space is stripped off. Unlike with Postfix alias databases, quotes cannot be used to protect lookup keys that contain special characters such as `#’ or whitespace.
  
  …
  
  The format posted worked for me, but I’ve found another post : http://fastmail.wikia.com/wiki/ConfiguringPostfix that sugegst to substitute the @ with a # :
  
  Don’t forget to replace with your Fastmail username and with the domain of your Fastmail account (eg fastmail.fm, eml.cc, etc), and with your Fastmail password. The ‘#’ seems to be important, using the regular ‘@’ symbol caused authentication errors.
  
  Can you also do a test changing your password to one without that particular special character ?
  
  I hope these links can help you.
  Best regards

There is a small typo. You have written systemct instead of systemctl after “Start postfix with the command : “.
