Ok, the thing is that Bredbandsbolaget, my ISP blocks port 25 (which is quite common) in an effort to minimize spam originating from their network. Could you please try the other two gmail ports and test if they work? (465, 587)

Sorry to keep pesting you, but I'm paranoid and not quite convinced curl does what we hope it does.

Thanks again
