Hello:
I recently came across stunnel as a solution (THE solution) to Pegasus Mail 4.63 having some sort of incompatibility with SSL versions in use at gmx.de and xsmail.com mail services.
As I was absolutely unwilling to let go of my trusty PMailo, stunnel proved to be a godsend. =-)
At first the problem was with xsmail only and after setting up stunnel everything went along perfectly well, no problems whatsoever.
Now, gmx.de is enforcing the use of SSL on ports 993, 995 and 465 instead of 110, 25 and 143 so I edited my stunnel.conf accordingly.

The issue at hand is that stunnel in not working properly now.
This is the log file for a successful connection to xsmail:
---

And this is the log file for a (failed) connection to gmx:

The PMail trace is this as follows:
[*] Connection established to 127.0.0.1
0016 +OK POP3 ready

0005 +OK

Figures ... It is attempting to connect to gmx with xsmail credentials.
As youcan see, for some strange reason it is connecting to gmx with xsmail settings.
Must be a *.conf file problem but I am at a loss as to what is gong on Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
CIV
