Getting Drupal Mailhandler to work with Gmail

Gmail is too fancy for Mailhandler, have to do some fancy footwork to get it to work. Mailhandler works fine with my regular ole plain-jane POP3 email account, but Gmail is special. Here's what I had to do to get it to work:

1) install mailhandler module in Drupal.

2) create gmail mailbox poster@mydomain.com.

3) install stunnel as per this site. (installing in Dapper was as easy as apt-get install stunnel).

4) add mailhandler mailbox following instructions from previous site.

Voila! Now I can post to the drupal blog via email.
