What version of Windows are you using and are you confident you have a good outside Internet connection that you can use normally to send mail out using the smtp server you identified?

Sep 22 15:05:06 <computername> sendemail[4872]: ERROR => Connection attempt to smtp.gmail.com:587 failed: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Unknown error

This is what i type:
C:\Users\<username>>sendemail -f <username>@gmail.com -u Subject test -m test
-t <username>@gmail.com -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu <username>
@gmail.com -xp <password> -o tls=yes

Is this correct?</password></username></username></username></username></computername>

Based on some of the comments in the FAQ, there is a known limit for the message of 16kb. You’ve stumped me on the subject line though – I don’t know!

This is a GREAT tutorial on using these tools! Really great stuff!

Let me ask you a question or two: for the -m Message Body, is there a max limit of characters or words that can go there? What about the Subject Line? Max there as well?

Thanks!
