A few days ago, sent an email in regards to a CRM program attempting to access GMail where no port number definitions are possible. That email (or part of it) is below, but after a bit more diag, I found that the email client was communicating with stunnel, but was not getting past that to GMail (or stunnel was not getting to GMail, not sure how to tell). I also realized that the settings of this application are similar to Outlook Express - email server defined, but no ability to specify port number. Does anyone have stunnel working with Outlook Express? I have a feeling the stunnel settings for that would be similar to what I need. Thanks, and the original email is below I am attempting to send/receive to GMail through a CRM program (contains email client) called ACT! (http://www.act.com)%C2%A0 ACT! only allows server addresses in the program configuration, NOT port numbers. (e.g. smtp.gmail.com or 127.0.0.1 - nothing else) I have configured stunnel 4.26 as such: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [pop] accept = localhost:110 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 [smtp] accept = localhost:25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 and in ACT as such: SMTP as localhost POP as localhost (also have tried 127.0.0.1, but with no difference).
