Sending Gmail using bash script from insti

[Vinay Y]

I have tried using google's smtp service, in vain to find that ping doen't work from insti as disussed here.

Can someone suggest a way to achieve this using bash/python script or any other way?

Thanks in advance,

Vinay.

Can you please provide me a link?

I found some threads on accessing institute's mail and sending to outside mail.

But I want to access my gmail and send from that.

You can't use SMTP or IMAP.

You might be able to build something around https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/

Vinay, Try the following command in bash. And see if you can connect. If any of them fails (double check the ports I put in these commands), then there is no direct solution. If they pass, I can write a bash script which uses mutt.

        openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993 (Try with 443 as well).

and,

      openssl s_client -connect  smtp.gmail.com:587 -starttls smtp (also try with 465)

best,

Only 443, 80, and 22 will work (unless you're using HTTP)

Even with HTTP, only port 80 will work (Unless you use netmon). And, in any case, port 80 will work only if you use HTTP.
