For several days, I've been using Stunnel (with Blat) successfully (possibly with no intervening re-boots).<br><br>A day or so ago, the system was re booted<br><br>Today, however, Stunnel failed. I got the following Stunnel reply
message:<br>

<br></div>The program fails both with and without the [gmail smtp] line included. Except, possibly, for removing ;[comment] lines, no other changes occurred.<br><br>Can somebody give me a clue as to the cause, and suggest the fix. I'm running Windows Vista.<br>
(I found the 17+ page instruction file, by Michal Trojnara, but didn't see a solution, there.)<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Roger Bohl<br><a href="mailto:rhbohl@gmail.com">rhbohl@gmail.com</a><br>707-939-8459 PDT<br>
