Hi Chip,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and complete reply!

I copied your example exactly into my stunnel.conf and reloaded the configuration, turned off "Allow access for less secure apps" in gmail
and it once again failed on username/password.

I understand your comment about -u, but mine was -to with the [email protected]

Nonetheless, I also changed it and tried:
c:\windows\blat\blat323\full\blat -to [email protected] -debug -u loudaman46 -pw xxxxxxxx -subject "Note" -body "TESTER" -server 127.0.0.1:25
and it also failed.

============================================================================================================
Some doc directly from gmail about failed userid/password:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563?hl=en

Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:

    The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
    The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
    Some Mail apps (not built by Google) that come with your Android Phone
    Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
To help keep your account secure, we may block these less secure apps from accessing your account. If this is the case, you have two choices:

    Upgrade to a more secure app that uses most up to date security measures. All Google products, like Gmail, use the latest security measures.
    Go to Allow less secure apps and choose “Allow” to let less secure apps access your Google account. We don't recommend this option because it may make it easier for someone to gain access to your account. But some cases where you still might want to allow apps access include:
        If you want to continue using an app you’re familiar with. For example, if you have a Samsung phone and check your email messages with the app that came on the phone, you can choose “Allow” to continue using it.
===============================================================================================================

The minute I changed my gmail to allow less secure access it worked with your stunnel.conf.
I then changed stunnel.conf back to mine and it also worked.
Both worked using the blat command in top of post (which was never changed).

Regards,
Lou Dudka

 Lou,
 
 
 
 I had time to check my system this evening for Gmail access,
 and I found 
 
 that your login userid should be only the email address
 before the @ symbol. 
 
 The -u option for userid should not include @gmail.com. 
 That's how I have 
 
 my system configured, and it works for me.
 
 
 
 I also noticed that your stunnel.conf file had near to
 nothing in it, so 
 
 that you would be using SSL 1.0 (least secure) to connect to
 Gmail.  I would 
 
 suggest that you add some entries to your stunnel.conf to
 look more like 
 
 this:
 
 
 
 # SERVICE-LEVEL OPTIONS
 
             CAfile = cert.pem
 
             cert = client.pem
 
             client = yes
 
             RNDfile = .rnd
 
             sslVersion = TLSv1
 
             fips = no
 
 
 
 [SMTP Gmail]
 
             accept = 127.0.0.1:25
 
             ;accept = 25
 
             connect = smtp.googlemail.com:587
 
             protocol = smtp
 
 
 
 [POP3 Gmail]
 
             ;accept = 127.0.0.1:1109
 
             accept = 143
 
             connect = pop.googlemail.com:995
 
             protocol = pop3
 
 
 
 Make sure that tell Blat to use server IP address 127.0.0.1,
 port 25.
 
 
 
 Chip
