Thanks, Chris. What I'm really trying  to accomplish is simply using SSL/TLS to talk to my general smarthost (i.e. not a domain I'm sending to; all my outbound mail must go to a specific host). Is this the correct tool for that? Or is there a preferred way?

It should be the destination domain name, not host name, e.g.

    if mail host is mail.xyz.com, and domain is xyz.com then:

    g_ssl_try_out "xyz.com"

or it can be the actual ip address of the destination host:

    g_ssl_try_out "ip.address.of.mail.xyz.com"

Hello,

What's the proper syntax for g_ssl_try_out? Do I give it a DNS name of the receiving mail server (a smarthost in my case)?

g_ssl_try_out - Try and start ssl mode to these hosts

If the hosts match then SurgeMail tries to start SSL security on the SMTP session. Note that this may cause failures if the link is dropped by the receiving server.

Syntax: g_ssl_try_out string

Thanks!

Bob
