[stunnel-users] Stunnel 4 failing to connect to gmail

HI Asif,
Unfortunately that is the way gmail works. It changes the from to the
gmail address rather than the computer domain. Unfortunately, this
mostly makes it useless if you are trying to use it as a smarthost.

Yep, as you suggested :-)

That worked! I were able to send an email and I did receive it. It
says the email came from `vadud3 at gmail.com'
instead of the sender, which is me at myhomecomputer.domain

I am using this in /etc/nullmailer/remotes file

localhost smtp --port=25 --user=vadud3 --pass=s3cr3t
