<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am using a command line mailer (BLAT) from a batch file to
notify me when errors occur. My ISP requires SSL however still allows non-SSL
traffic on Port 25 as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here is my scenario:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I use BLAT to send an SMTP message on Port 25 to my
ISP. This works but I must send my userid and password which I don’t
want to do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I then use Stunnel with the following config:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>[smtps]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>accept
= 25<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>connect
= smtp.isp.domain.net:465<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Port
465 is the SSL port for my ISP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I run Stunnel as a service in Vista.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I then have BLAT send an SMTP message on Port 25 to my
ISP. This works.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question is, everything seems to work but how can I test
this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to figure out if it really worked (I sent
the message with SSL to port 465) or I am still just sending a message on Port
25. Since both of these cases work, it is hard for me to tell.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried to telnet to these ports; however, since I
basically have to specify port 25 in either case for the test, I’m not
sure that I am successful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts on how to make sure my messages are going
through SSL?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bob <o:p></o:p></p>
