When I last used blat, it was a .exe so that from REXX, 'blat.exe' with the
parms would start it.

By itself, Blat does not understand TLS.  However, Blat can be used with
other programs that can provide TLS encryption -- stunnel.org provides a
handy SSL/TLS tunnel program that Blat is able to use.

Chip

can blat be used with TLS?  i am not sure if i am wording this question
correctly.

I would be a prospective user. . .

Well I am drudging up on old topic here, but just wondering if there is still
interest in this (sending signed messages). I am currently using openSSL with
SendEmail to do this but would rather use Blat instead of SendEmail. So I will
be working on the source and will send changes to Chip (I'm guessing he is still
the pri coder... it has been a few years since I was active in this group)

Please reply to this if you are interested.

If that is the case, look at the -delay and -maxnames options.

Sounds like you're exceeding Gmail's sending limits,
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=22839>:

Sending limits

In an effort to fight spam and prevent abuse, Google will
temporarily disable your account if you send messages to more
than 500 recipients or if you send a large number of
undeliverable messages. If you use a POP or IMAP client
(Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, e.g.), you may only send a
message to 100 people at a time. Your account should be re-
enabled within 24 hours.

i am using blat with stunnel to send email thru a gmail account.
everything works well most of the time.  it seems whenever i have 100-200 emails
to send that blat starts to puke about halfway thru and I start getting the
following message:

The SMTP server does not like the sender name
Have you set your mail address correctly?
Error: connection to server was dropped

the blat syntax is exactly the same for each email except for the email address

I check my log file to see what emails weren't sent. I go back and try sending
them again and it works

weird.

Are you sure these are cut/pasted from the same screen? Your Blat

rwsn> Any thoughts?

Are you sending -to and -from the same eMail address as it looks? I
would try sending -to an eMail in a completely different domain (for
example the one you sent to the list from). That is what the error
from the SMTP server seems to be saying to me (the 553 line).

I would also test with everything specified on the command line
instead of getting some parts from the Registry (-install).

Hi All,  I need to use a command line mail program for windows for a project
that I'm working on.  Blat seems like just the ticket.  I have a domain name
from godaddy.com.  I can send and receive email via outlook from the same
machine to the same smtp server using the same port (3535) that I am attempting
to use with blat. Here's what I tried (usernames and passwords changed to
protect the innocent):

I noticed that I get the same response with or without the -pw option on the

Any thoughts?

Blat doesn't have a limit, but the SMTP server you use probably does.
