It still won't work. I have numbered my tries and commented them below:

1) First I made a copy (more or less) of what you suggested:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
curl
        --ssl
        --mail-from ""
        --mail-rcpt ""
        --verbose
        --url smtp://smtp.gmail.com curl
        --ssl
        --mail-from ""
        --mail-rcpt ""
        --verbose
        --url smtp://smtp.gmail.com
        -u valid_and_same_as_in_From_in_brakare.txt
        -T brakare.txt

Where the file brakare.txt looks exactly as below:
From: "a name"
 To: valid_and_same_as_in_mail-rcpt
 Date: 11 Oct 2010 20:30:30 +0100
 Subject: test

Enter host password for user 'someone':

                                 Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:05 --:--:-- 0^C

2) My next try was to use port 587 (Here I only give the output I get, since the command is similiar):
Enter host password for user 'someone':
* About to connect() to smtp.gmail.com port 587 (#0)

* SMTP 0x6cab48 state change from STARTTLS to QUIT
  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:13 --:--:-- 0^C

Neither of my tries above results in a mail being sent. I'm left hanging and ends the session with control-C.

Can someone please spot my mistake?
