Hi John, There is another open source SMTP application out there similar to Blat and it supposedly supports TLS/SSL type connections. I don't recall the name off the top of my head and am too buried at the moment to dig it up but I'm sure a search of the Profox archives will turn up the mention.

It worked fine until a few months ago when I got a message on a development machine saying CDO.CONFIGURATION class could not be found, the other development machine and the client's machines were working fine. I put up an appeal for help on ProFox and got the very sensible reply from Ted that it had probably been broken by M$ and that I should use BLAT. Unfortunately BLAT as it stands won't work with Gmail which is what the clients are using so I decided to let the world go by as it was only one machine. Unfortunately one of the client machines has developed the same fault so now I have to do something :-) I've done some research and it appears that I have to use Stunnel with BLAT to overcome the Secure SMTP issue with Gmail. I believe I need to install Stunnel on a development machine then all I need to do is copy the files from the Program files area and put them in the same folder as my exe on the client's machine. I then need to call Stunnel before I call BLAT. Unfortunately Stunnel installs a raft of files and I'm not sure which ones I need nor can I see what I should do to call Stunnel. I am a bit lost (a lot lost?) in this whole area of SMTP, SSL, etc and am floundering! Can anyone help me with this problem?
