I have an app which is running on several machines which uses CDO to send

emails automatically. It worked fine until a few months ago when I got a

message on a development machine saying CDO.CONFIGURATION class could not be

found, the other development machine and the client's machines were working

fine. I put up an appeal for help on ProFox and got the very sensible reply

from Ted that it had probably been broken by M$ and that I should use BLAT.

Unfortunately BLAT as it stands won't work with Gmail which is what the

clients are using so I decided to let the world go by as it was only one

machine. Unfortunately one of the client machines has developed the same

fault so now I have to do something :-)

I've done some research and it appears that I have to use Stunnel with BLAT

to overcome the Secure SMTP issue with Gmail. I believe I need to install

Stunnel on a development machine then all I need to do is copy the files

from the Program files area and put them in the same folder as my exe on the

client's machine. I then need to call Stunnel before I call BLAT.

Unfortunately Stunnel installs a raft of files and I'm not sure which ones I

need nor can I see what I should do to call Stunnel.

I am a bit lost (a lot lost?) in this whole area of SMTP, SSL, etc and am

floundering! Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

John
