I haven't tried with stunnel yet, you're wrong here Jon, mainly because it does work with OE, but maybe it would be helpful just to see exactly what is going on. >> "Once connected to an SMTP server, The Bat! checks which of the [...] > Hrm...

I was getting an error message "Authentication failed", which may as well refer to the MD5 thing, which is never happening, because the server doesn't support it. This seems to be a feature in TheBat, trying to achieve maximum security, it'll just go on authenticating "plain" (actually encrypted) when MD5 is not supported. However, this doesn't explain why the message doesn't get sent according to the log file (but in fact is). Will now try to answer your questions in TBBETA, Jon. :) Thanks for your help, folks!
