I'm trying to configure Alpine to send email either using gmails smtp ser=

Very interesting, and how is it going?

Oops, I did not meant to send the above post, I was writing it using mailx
just to prove that the smarthost was working - I guess I managed that.
As to how it goes, well I just could not get Alpine working with
exim4/smarthost but I have got it working with the gmail smtp server
working.
With regards to the gmail smtp server below is a list of what did
not and what did work with Alpine 0.9999
First, what worked: smtp.gmail.com/submit/user=your.username@gmail.com
Next what did not work: smtp.gmail.com/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com:587/tls/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com:587/ssl/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com:995/tls/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com:995/ssl/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com/ssl/user=your.username@gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com/tls/user=your.username@gmail.com
Anyway I hope that the above will be of use to some poor devil googling
away like a madman in the future.
Regards
Peter
