Looks to me that either port 587 is already in use on your machine, or 74.125.93.111 is not its IP address.

Here is how my conf file looks like

[ssmtp] accept = smtp.gmail.com:587 connect = 25

Ah, o.k., you told stunnel to bind() to gmail and connect() to localhost. This should be the other way 'round: You want stunnel to accept connections from your mail client to localhost at port 25 and then connect to smtp.gmail.com at port 587.

HTH,
