I tried to follow this recipe, however, not fully succeeded...
1) I ran 'hg pull' and 'hg update' in my $PLAN9 directory.
2) My computer has a name 'bluestar' (output of 'hostname').
3) I created the testing message 'mesg'.
4) I added the key to factotum by running:
factotum -g 'proto=pass role=client server=bluestar service=smtp
user=rudolf.sykora@gmail.com !password?'
and I entered my gmail password when promted.
5) I issued:
sudo /usr/sbin/stunnel3 -c -d 12345 -r smtp.gmail.com:465
6) then issued:
$PLAN9/bin/upas/smtp -ai 'tcp!bluestar!12345' rudolf.sykora@gmail.com
rudolf.sykora@cern.ch <msg
and got this:
smtp: bad network /net/tcp!bluestar!12345 (tcp!bluestar!12345)
so I tried
$PLAN9/bin/upas/smtp -ai 'tcp!128.141.146.215!12345'
rudolf.sykora@gmail.com rudolf.sykora@cern.ch <msg
where 128.141.146.215 is my current ip address. (What and where should
I add so that the name bluestar would be resolved? I obtain the ip
using dhcp, thus it can vary from boot to boot, together with the
domain...) The result is:

Fri Sep  9 21:34:17 CES 2011 connect to tcp!128.141.146.215!12345:
250-mx.google.com at your service, [128.141.146.215]
250-SIZE 35882577
250-8BITMIME
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XOAUTH
250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

but it does not seem like any email has been sent anywhere...

Btw. I don't quite understand what '9fans@hamnavoe.com' really stands
for. Plan9 man page says it should perhaps be a sender, but then, I
want to send as if from my gmail account; and more, even from gmail
web I can send under different names, but these are not arbitrary, but
must have been varified in advance. So should there stand any of these
addresses I can use when sending from the web interface?

Thanks for help!
