Postfix stopped sending mails out of nowhere

I tried setting up smtp with gmail but it didn't work. I uninstalled postfix and installed Sendmail but I'm having the exact same problem. Really confused.

"Not working" is really broad, also I would go for postfix it's easier to setup. I tried it in in a test vm and it works:

I also received the email at this address, and the sender was the gmail adress which I specified in the configuration.

1. Install postfix and sasl: postfix cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-lib cyrus-sasl-plain
2. Enable two factor authentication for your account: https://myaccount.google.com/security
3. Generate a password for your application: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
4. Create authentication file and add your email and user the app password you just created: /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd --> [smtp.gmail.com]:587 [email protected]:YourAppPassword
5. Permissions: chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
6. Configuration: add this to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
7. Create lookup table: postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
8. Restart postfix

Did you hear back yet from privateemail.com support?
