Problems with stunnel and cox.net on Windows 7
by Phil Smith III 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Cox has been warning us that as of next week, we need to use encrypted POP and SMTP. I have two reasons to use stunnel now: 1) I use the K9 Bayesian email proxy for spam filtering, and it doesn't do TLS 2) My wife still uses Eudora and doesn't want to switch, and while Eudora allegedly supports TLS, it's not trivial to make it work (and Cox certainly won't help) Thus stunnel looks like an ideal solution. But after tinkering for a few hours on two machines, I'm stumped. While I can type an SMTP or POP transaction in my sleep, I'm not so good at typing a TLS handshake, so I'm using Outlook 2013 as my test platform (and that's what I'll be using myself later anyway). I setup a new account, point to the right ports on 127.0.0.1, and the test times out, with: Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). Send test e-mail message: The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). Here's my stunnel.conf, with blank lines and comments removed: client = yes output = C:\temp\stunnel-log.txt taskbar = yes debug = 7 [POP3 Incoming] protocol = pop3 accept = 127.0.0.1:1110 connect = pop.cox.net:995 protocol = smtp accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = smtp.cox.net:465 Yes, that's port 1110, since K9 is using 110. Shouldn't matter, right? (As long as I point the client at 1110, obviously!) Yes, I have protocol = pop3 and protocol = smtp; I've tried commenting them out individually, no change that I can see. Yes, I'm running stunnel explicitly, not as a service-I found threads suggesting that it just doesn't work as a service on Windows 7 for some reason (and in fact beat my head against that wall for a while first). And here's the stunnel log: 2018.01.17 21:29:24 LOG7[main]: Running on Windows 6.1 2018.01.17 21:29:24 LOG7[main]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2018.01.17 21:29:24 LOG5[main]: stunnel

I feel like I'm one setting away from having this all work.! Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- ...phsiii

TLS socket closed (SSL_write) with unsent byte(s)
by Cotswold Group - Stephen Murray 16 Jan '18

Hi All, We use stunnel to send emails from our scanners to our hosted mail provider (that now only accept TLS connections). This has been working well for a number of years, but just recently the scanners (all Lexmark) have sporadically been giving errors of 'connection failed'. If I check the stunnel logs, the failed send has an extra line in of TLS socket closed (SSL_write) with 418 unsent byte(s) Below are 2 examples, 59 was sent successfully, 60 was not. 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: Service [fasthosts-smtp] accepted connection from 10.226.174.95:11473 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: s_connect: connected 213.171.216.50:465 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: Service [fasthosts-smtp] connected remote server from 10.226.150.9:52577 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://t2.symcb.com" 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: s_connect: connected 23.55.155.27:80 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2018.01.16 14:37:24 LOG5[59]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://tj.symcd.com" 2018.01.16 14:37:25 LOG5[59]: s_connect: connected 23.55.155.27:80 2018.01.16 14:37:25 LOG5[59]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2018.01.16 14:37:25 LOG5[59]: Certificate accepted at depth=0: C=GB, ST=Gloucestershire, L=Gloucester, O=Fasthosts Internet Limited, OU=NOC, CN=smtp.livemail.co.uk 2018.01.16 14:37:29 LOG5[59]: Connection closed: 167106 byte(s) sent to TLS, 376 byte(s) sent to socket 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: Service [fasthosts-smtp] accepted connection from 10.226.174.95:11483 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: s_connect: connected 213.171.216.50:465 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: Service [fasthosts-smtp] connected remote server from 10.226.150.9:52620 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://t2.symcb.com" 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: s_connect: connected 23.55.155.27:80 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://tj.symcd.com" 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: s_connect: connected 23.55.155.27:80 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2018.01.16 14:38:19 LOG5[60]: Certificate accepted at depth=0: C=GB, ST=Gloucestershire, L=Gloucester, O=Fasthosts Internet Limited, OU=NOC, CN=smtp.livemail.co.uk 2018.01.16 14:38:24 LOG3[60]: TLS socket closed (SSL_write) with 418 unsent byte(s) 2018.01.16 14:38:24 LOG5[60]: Connection reset: 964 byte(s) sent to TLS, 392 byte(s) sent to socket Has anyone come across this before?

Connecting a HTTP browser to a HTTPS server.
by peter＠easthope.ca 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hello, I'm interested to configure stunnel to allow my local non-TLS Web browser to receive pages from a remote server providing only HTTPS. This section of https://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html appears relevant. transparent = none | source | destination | both (Unix only) enable transparent proxy support on selected platforms ... destination The original destination is used instead of the connect option. A service section for transparent destination may look like this: [transparent] client = yes accept = <stunnel_port> transparent = destination This configuration requires iptables setup to work, possibly in /etc/rc.local or equivalent file. ... For a connect target installed on a remote host: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport <stunnel_port> -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \ -i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port> The transparent destination option is currently only supported on Linux. ==================================== Substitution of parameters for my context gives these configurations.. [transparent] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:954 transparent = destination /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 954 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 \ -i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:954 The non-TLS browser would address http://www.stunnel.org:954/ and receive the page from https://www.stunnel.org:443/. According to Wikipedia, 954 is not assigned. The browser would continue to receive the page http://www.website.org/ without involvement of stunnel or iptables. Plausible? Thanks, ...

Versions
by Editor 04 Jan '18

Hi: On the various repo sites for Redhat-CentOS-Oracle Linux, etc., they are only providing version 4.29 of stunnel. Is there anyway to push them an updated version? I normally use these repo providers: Oracle Linux repo EPEL 6 Repo rpmforce Repo In the end, I tried to compile the latest version on Linux but I get this somewhat cryptic message about a TLS installation directory. I never had this issue before but to be honest, I normally used Solaris (8-9-10) in the past. "Could not find your TLS library installation dir Use --with-ssl option to fix this problem" I tried pointing it at /usr/bin/openssl and also at /usr/lib64/openssl without any luck. Sorry for bothering the list if this has been answered in the past. Thanks. Kevin

outgoing mail solution?
by Parker Brooks 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

hello and happy new year! it seemed this question has been asked before in various ways, however with the frequent version updates i'm still unclear if stunnel is meant as a fix to my issue. i have a outdated home monitoring program running on a winxp box. when an error occurs it sends an email. it's setup screen (besides the destination email field) only have a) smtp server, b) undeliverable email address and c) port # fields to configure. my workaround for several years (when port 25 became blocked or needed authetication) has been to use LOApost but they've recently ceased. that program, also running in the background, and if i understand correctly acted as a local host. i configured the monitoring program's smtp for 127.0.0.1 and LOApost did the rest other searches suggest cloud solutions like sendgrid and authsmtp. but those sites need a login/ password with the outgoing message. perhaps this is where i'm getting confused between the differences of SSL and smtp authentication? i have gotten gsuite's restricted smtp server to work, but i hoped stunnel would provide a better solution (ability to send besides gmail/ gsuite addresses). below are my conf and log files of my attempt. again, i can't tell if i've missed a step, or if this is not intended to work.
