[keycloak-dev] Keycloak email setup "the easy way"

[Stan Silvert]

I just came across what I think is the probably easiest possible way to 
set up Keycloak's SMTP for testing.  So I thought I should share.

If you want/need to test things like password recovery and "verify 
email", here is the tip:

In Admin Console:
1) Go to Realm Settings-->Email
2) Set host to aspmx.l.google.com
3) Set port to 25
4) Use whatever you want for the other fields
5) Note that Enable SSL, Enable StartTLS, and Enable Authentication can 
be left "OFF".
6) Create a new test user with a gmail email address.

This only works for gmail users, so your test user needs a gmail account 
of some kind.  It doesn't need to be "@gmail.com", but it must be a 
gmail account.
