Thank you very much for working with me on resolving this. On your first post I didn't see the difference in port numbers. I have corrected that. Thank you for catching it. It did get me closer to resolving the issue. I'm getting this log from my email client: --- Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:22:46 --- Connect to 'localhost' port 10115, timeout 60. 12:22:46.960 [*] Connection established to 127.0.0.1 12:22:47.226 >> 0120 220 vms173007pub.verizon.net -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 32bit (built Apr 16 2009))\0D\0A 12:22:47.226 << 0023 EHLO [192.168.168.11]\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0030 250-vms173007pub.verizon.net\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0014 250-8BITMIME\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0016 250-PIPELINING\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0014 250-CHUNKING\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0009 250-DSN\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0025 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0010 250-HELP\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0044 250-XLOOP AD6DF29B04183351BAD9935B9A483ABE\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0042 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0022 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0010 250-ETRN\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0019 250-NO-SOLICITING\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 >> 0019 250 SIZE 20971520\0D\0A 12:22:47.288 << 0015 AUTH CRAM-MD5\0D\0A 12:22:47.335 >> 0050 334 PDEzNTYyOTY5MjEuMTIxMTA1NTFAdm1zMTczMDA3Pg==\0D\0A 12:22:47.335 << 0058 YXR1cHJlcyBkYTlmZTI3MWFjODNjYWUxOTVjNmZhZWQ5ZGE0NTUzYg==\0D\0A 12:22:47.397 >> 0066 500 5.7.0 Unknown AUTH error -1 (Internal authentication error).\0D\0A 12:22:50.845 << 0006 QUIT\0D\0A 12:22:50.892 >> 0034 221 2.3.0 Bye received.

Getting Stunnel working with Verizon.net SMTP
by Gary Kuznitz 12 Jun '13

I can't seem to connect with email at Verizon.net SMTP. I can connect with POP3. The Stunnel.log shows: 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: stunnel 4.56 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: Threading:WIN32 Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 SSL:ENGINE,OCSP,FIPS 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: FIPS mode is enabled 2013.06.11 19:27:04 LOG5[3752:2524]: Configuration successful I have IPv6 turned off in my network settings. The Stunnel.conf looks like this: output = stunnel.log cert = stunnel.pem options = NO_SSLv2 [Verizon-pop3] client = yes accept = 11014 connect = pop.verizon.net:995 delay = yes [Verizon-smtp] client = yes accept = 11015 connect = smtp.verizon.net:465 delay = yes I do not have SSL turned on in my email client. The log from my email client looks like this: --- Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:38:55 --- Connect to 'localhost' port 10115, timeout 60. 16:38:56.897 15: Peer connect failure (the host has refused the connection). The Verizon account is FIOS. I am not connected directly to the Verizon ISP. I can't send email without SSL. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this working? Thanks, Gary Kuznitz

Certificate failure to verify with verify = 4 option
by Thomas Eifert 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Correction: The cert issuer is Startcom Ltd, not Startcom LLC. -- Greetings; Stunnel 4.56 running under Win 7 SP1 x86. Recently, the owners of a server I regularly connect to updated their server certificate; the former had expired at the end of May. As soon as that event occurred, I deleted the old certificate, then used the "save peer certificate" function of Stunnel to get the updated one. However, the new certificate fails to verify, even with the verify = 4 option in Stunnel. The error message is similar to what I used to get when doing a verify = 3 with some certificates. The general error output of Stunnel is: CERT: Verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate 2013.06.09 16:37:46 LOG4[608:2336]: Certificate check failed: depth=0 When I open the new certificate with: openssl x509 -text -in certname.pem and view the certificate details, I'm not seeing anything obvious. The certificate is within a valid date range, and contains the same basic elements as other certs I've viewed. The certificate appears to have been issued by Startcom LLC. If I comment out the verify statement, I'm able to successfully negotiate an SSL connection with the server. I realize that this may be more of an openssl issue than an issue with Stunnel. Nevertheless, I thought I'd start here and throw it out to the floor for comments. Anyone have any ideas or have run into this issue?

weird stunnel problem
by Stephen Griffin 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hello A few days ago we ran into issue where the number of stunnel threads sky rocketed to over 3000 open stunnel threads. When this happen connections to our website slowed down considerably or failed to connect. It was resolved by flipping to our other proxy which accepted any new connections. It took about 5 minutes for the threads to die off on the other proxy. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem? Here are some details of our stunnel version and config. Stunnel 4.44 with patch for x-forwarder [root@brm-proxy01 ~]# stunnel -version stunnel 4.44 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global options: debug = daemon.notice pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH curve = prime256v1 session = 300 seconds sslVersion = TLSv1 for client, all for server stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none appriacated Our stunnel.conf. /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf #sslVersion = TLSv1 pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid syslog = yes output = /var/log/stunnel.log debug = 3 [https] cert = /etc/stunnel/ssl/wildcard.blah.com.pem accept = 443 connect = 80 xforwardedfor = yes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 TIMEOUTclose = 0 TIMEOUTconnect = 10 TIMEOUTidle = 60 Is there anything we could add for performance tuning in stunnel? Any suggestions on what I could look for when this happens again would be appreciated. Our platform does between 2000 to 3000 rpm (request per minute) during peak hours. We constantly see a lot of these messages every hour but I am not sure what is happening as the connections seem to be working. SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected There was a higher spike of them as per the normal rate during our incident described above.
