Blat - A Win32 Command Line SMTP Mailer

Tracker: Support Requests

5 trying to use blat 261 with gmail accounts - ID: 1665826
Last Update: Comment added ( boomer400 )

Is there a way to configure blat to use gmail accounts? It seems that gmail
accounts require the TLS (use secure connection) option to be selected when
connecting. I don't see any TLS switch to configure on the 261 html doc. I
have sent successfully using a yahoo account so I know my batch is working
successfully otherwise. I prefer to use the gmail though.

figured this out a while ago and never got back to close the request.
Thanks to Stunnel.org and Chip from the yahoo group for helping everyone
out.

OK, this request can be closed; I figured it out a while ago and never got
back to closing the request. Used the stunnel setup and am now successfully
sending out program completion messaging for notifications. Thanks, Chip!

Use stunnel to provide the encryption. Stunnel is freely available from
stunnel.org. I use it here at home to access my AT&T mail. If you search
the Yahoo mailing list (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/blat/) for
stunnel, you will find instructions and my stunnel.conf file. It would be
a simple change to stunnel.conf to use it with gmail.

Addition/Correction : The forementioned yahoo account was actually through
pacbell which allows apparently plain auth logons whereas yahoo only
accounts (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) does not. Apparently yahoo only accounts
require the ssl to be enabled. Does this mean I need to have an ssl port
with something like stunnel or such? Can anyone verify this and/or walk me
through such a setup?
