Definitely not the firewall. I switched off and still have the problem. I don't think I am hitting any limitation because it doesn't even look as if it is starting to send the email, blat connects to stunnel and then disconnects after 30 secionds with nothing happening in between.
>As Rick pointed out I'd check your firewall settings.
>I also question if there is something wrong with gmail settings or limitations. I know at one time they limited your ability to do this for more than 99 emails per day. Once you hit the limit ya gotta wait 24 hours - perhaps this is your problem???

>>I don't think the port is even getting involved yet, the connection to stunnel just seems to stop on its own after 30 seconds without even trying to send it on to gmail. The username and password are passed in, but just not involved at this point. I have tried with 587 too, with the same result.
