   you help?

   failed.

   worked. In K-NEWS it does not.

 * Hi Willktor
 * I know its late after the question has been answered, but I just had the same
   problem with a connect fail issue.
 * I ended up using the settings below:
 * Host SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
    Port SMTP: 465 SMTP Secure: ssl Conn mode: IsSendmail()
 * The issue I was having was Conn mode was set to IsSMTP(), I simply changed it
   to IsSendmail(0 and it all started working.
 * Hope this helps.

 * THNX. The newest version of KNEWS has a check of a score of the assassin spam
   filter. I use IsSendmail() and the score is good (below 0). I will make a shipment
   now and see if the opening rate is the same as with IsSMTP() (which I usually
   used).
