I was trying to debug why my home linux box can't relay emails to the gmail server, and used openssl to see what happens. Here is what I got, but i am not sure if this is normal:

mybox# openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.gmail.com:465
CONNECTED(00000003)
EHLO

basically, there is no response from the server. is this normal due to their security measure? or am I missing something?

I didn't think that they used TLS. I use smtp.googlemail.com:465 using SSL, and that works fine (used it 10 minutes ago).

EDIT: Running "openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465" works fine.

I did that and it seemed to be fine. until I do MAIL FROM, and it asks me to do an authentications first. By reading something else from the Internet, it seems that I need to starttls for the authentication.
