And the solution for the bug in the SSL.pm perl script is (from a debian site): Replace the first string with the second: m{^(!?)(?:(SSL(?:v2|v3|v23|v2/3))|(TLSv1[12]?))$}i m{^(!?)(?:(SSL(?:v2|v3|v23|v2/3))|(TLSv1[12]?))}i With this fix I’m now able to send outbound messages on gmail. Inbound ones are not available over the server - it still reports invalid email settings. But - there is progress! Now - my test messages have text that says: "PSKmail message from none” Where does this “none” come from? I wonder if I have to set "none” = “user” to receive emails sent to this “none” entity.
