It works just fine under Windows, Linux and FreeBSD too. I've testing
them all. On Linux and Windows it uses the OpenSSL libraries - which
normally comes standard with the system.

To save you some trouble, I've attached a fully working console demo.
Edit the config.ini to match your details. Also edit the SMTP host name
inside the program unit. Sending emails via Gmail requires a extra step
- you need to log into your Gmail with a Web Browser and under security
settings, authenticate the "unknown device". When the console app gives
an error on the first run, it will output URL you can use to get to that
settings page (thanks Google).

The "IndySecureMailClient.pas" implements a wrapper class for Indy's
SMTP and SSL handling making it super easy to use. The wrapper class in
fact adds all Indy's abilities of encryption for convenience. Indy rocks!!!

I hope that helps.

Regards,
  Graeme
