Sending emails

[nore]

I was searching for some function to send an email, so I stumbled upon _INetSmtpMail.

What I want is to send an email to a gmail account, I found out that gmail's smtp server is smtp.gmail.com. After trying to send a test email, it failed with error code 51. So I wonder if gmail's smtp server(s) require any special input for $s_helo or $s_first.

Anybody tried sending emails to gmail accounts before ?

Some virus scanners and spyware tools prevent use of port 25 to prevent mass mailer worms. This could be why you cannot open port 25. Definately a firewall of some sort.

edit: looks like you're trying to use 465 instead, but still may be prevetned. You running Windows Firewall?

well.. you're not far from the truth I guess.. According to that thread and other posts I have a little idea on what he's trying to do.. and you have one too now.
