You have everything mixed up. Where did you saw that email can do TLS? It doesn't, the -u/-i parameters are for doing SMTP AUTH which is a different thing. > Are there any builds of email available that pass parameters correctly > to ssmtp?

Doesn't matter, you can use -r <smtp-server>, and even change the port, nothing will make email use SSL (which is needed for TLS)-- the library is not linked. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
