If your server requires STARTTLS, then it should also require port 465 or 587. I use stunnel to provide the SSL / TLS service, and have Blat configured to use IP 127.0.0.1 to send messages through stunnel. Stunnel can be downloaded from https://www.stunnel.org/, it is free to use, and they maintain it as SSL and TLS protocols are updated. If you want help getting this configured, I can provide a copy of stunnel.conf that works for me.

Clever suggestion, and you're right about the port number. However, I would like a method that seems as easy as what is available when one sends a page from a browser. I don't do this all that often.

I have included my login password but blat message says,
Warning The SMTP server does not require AUTH LOGIN.
Is this because server requires STARTTLS?
