hi, I run stunnel 4.04 on i586-suse-linux-gnu PTHREAD with OpenSSL 0.9.6i [engine]. When I open up connection to my Mailserver for fetchmail to get mails I regularily have to wait for 1 1/2 minutes before it starts fetching here is part of stunnel.log (mark: 11:27:22 and 11:28:43) 2004.08.25 11:27:22 LOG7[16627:49154]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2004.08.25 11:27:22 LOG7[16627:49154]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2004.08.25 11:27:22 LOG7[16627:49154]: waitforsocket: FD=11, DIR=read 2004.08.25 11:28:43 LOG7[16627:49154]: waitforsocket: ok 2004.08.25 11:28:43 LOG7[16627:49154]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server hello A 2004.08.25 11:28:43 LOG7[16627:49154]: waitforsocket: FD=11, DIR=read 2004.08.25 11:28:44 LOG7[16627:49154]: waitforsocket: ok What is the reason and can I change that.
