I hate continuing to be the one to ask to not top post. I give up.
Why would you need gmail to be the relay? If you have kubuntu on your
system have it use sendmail locally. If you have an ISP, use their mail
server. I don't understand the point of going through all this just to
send mail to gmail.
If you don't have a GUI on your system and you need to send and receive
email, good grief man, setup pine or mutt. You get the functionality
you need from a text based mail client. Using gmail as an SMTP relay
seems superfluous to me.
