Hello,

I only get:
$ swaks -tls -q helo -s smtp.gmail.com
=== Trying smtp.gmail.com:25...
*** Error connecting 0.0.0.0 to smtp.gmail.com:25:
***     IO::Socket::INET: connect: timeout


I think it depends on the originating ip-address.
Apparently other mailhosts can use port 25 and STARTTLS,
while 'ordinary' gmail users must use tls on connect and port 465
or 587.

Regards,
Arnold
