Outlook.com requires a secure connection using SSL or TLS protocol. To get around this, I use another program called stunnel from http://stunnel.org/ to provide the SSL / TLS portion. In this way, Blat is able to communicate with email service providers, such as Outlook.com or Gmail.com. If you use stunnel for SSL / TLS, then Blast must be told to use 127.0.0.1 as the SMTP server. Stunnel on your PC will listen to that IP address, and open a secure connection to your actual SMTP server (Outlook.com) so Blat can begin to communicate. Getting stunnel installed is very easy, just answer some questions such as your name and country, make sure that it starts with Windows, then edit the configuration file to look similar to this list: CAfile = cert.pem cert = client.pem client = yes RNDfile = .rnd sslVersion = TLSv1 fips = no [outlook client] accept = 127.0.0.1:28 connect = smtp.live.com:587 sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 protocol = smtp -- Chip
