Actually 465 works fine.  Although I'm not entirely sure it is
actually TLS.  It will not work with the starttls parameter on openssl
as it just stalls but would take the connection normally.

Connection Log: http://pastebin.com/2vd3S7rL

Anyways try without defining TLS for that port and if you can just
indicate it as normal SSL.  Alternatively check the Gmail docs for the
correct TLS port (which isn't 465).  This is a configuration issue at
this point and not entirely relevant to cygwin.

P.S. - I just noticed that it appears to be ssmtp so there is no
"normal" SSL in the config.  You will need to use the actual TLS port
and not 465 in this config.  However 465 does work and likely works
fine in Outlook.
