Use of Blat with gmail or yahoo without stunnel

  • 772

I am trying to use Blat for the distribution of a report from a machine that is not on the corporate network. The ISP connection is residential Fios and blocks port 80 and I believe local smtp servers on port 25. I could install STUNNEL to connect to the mail service, but am hoping for an easier solution. Any recommendations on an email service that does not require stunnel or a better way to automate the email distribution of one report nightly?

smtp

    That's what the RFC-sanctioned smtp submit port (587/tcp) is for. All decent carriers accept mail on that port, and I know of no ISPs that block it.
