If you're using GMail you need TLS. The old wwIpstuff library doesn't support that. The newer wwSmtp library that's part of the West Wind Client Tools (https://west-wind.com/WestwindClientTools.aspx) supports it and it has the **same** interface as wwipstuff - you basically just change the class name. wwIPstuff is so old there wasn't even and official TLS authenticated protocol at the time, so probably time to upgrade to something a little more modern :-)


There's an example in the documentation that shows how to send email with Gmail specifically:

Sending TLS Emails with GMail
