Mike Copeland, please will you help me I've tried to follow this thread and I must be one of the dead-stoopid ones
I have used Blat for many years but in this country, the largest ISP has suddenly decided on this SSL business. So I have installed STUNNEL as per the suggestions here. Using Gmail with my tests (and because I use gmail as my personal email provider) All I end with is (in the blat.log file) The SMTP server does not like the sender name. Have you set your mail address correctly? My Blat.prg does not make reference to any ports The Stunnel.conf makes reference to [gmail-smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 Please what am I not doing On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 8:50 AM, Mike Copeland <[email protected]> wrote: > John, it really is stupid simple...very transparent to install and use. > The only gotcha is if your email app (blat) is using a port that stunnel is > not expecting (listening to).
