[stunnel-users] Gmail / Eudora / SpamPal and Stunnel

[John Bullas]

Good Morning

I hope there is someone on this group who can assist?

I am running Eudora 6.2.0.14, Stunnel-4.04, SpamPal 1,583

win 2k on D drive / Stunnel on e (partitions not physical)
startup line E:\stunnel\stunnel-4.04.exe

Stunnel log after running it (systray icon appears to suggest it is started 
and Services app allowed me to start it)

Eudora settings:

username: myloginname at gmail.com@127.0.0.1:1109

smtp server:127.0.0.1

incoming server as POP and local ohst or 127.0.0.1 see below

I can RECEIVE Gmail ok

but SENDING prompts a "Could not connect to "127.0.0.1" Cause: connection 
refused (10061)

ditto if "localhost" is used as the pop server in steadof 127.0.0.1

I have Hotmail Popper on 127.0.0.2 for hotmail and Spampal/Eudora is fine 
with that

Hotmail Popper? A method to send/receive Hotmail via POP 
http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/
Spampal? http://www.spampal.org a free spam tagging proxy(?)

I am now in the realms of "playing about" to try and fix this outgoing mail 
issue
HOWEVER I am sure someone in this forum has Gmail happily sending and 
receiving!!!!

Gmail REQUIRES SSL

A connection to my university email will not SEND over IMAP
and needs to go out via SMTP as it requires a verified internal IP address 
to work (relay denied)

I am uncertain of how the SSL settings in Eudora need to be set to allow 
Gmail to both
send/receive using Required Alternate Post as given in the online help for 
Gmail
via spampal and Stunnel

Yes I know Spampal and Gmail is "belt and braces" but I have a challenge 
here!!!!
Justified "give up you can't" would be equally appreciated
