SMTP out via Comcast stopped working - stunnel-users

29 Nov 2019


      All:
I have had this setup working fine since Comcast blocked port 25 and
recently stopped working.
This is a MS Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange, I know, old and
obsolete but I would like to keep it working until I migrate to Linux.
Anyway, right now I also have my desktop, Win10, using the same SMTP
settings for the Acronis backup event results and it can send me
emails just fine, just tested this.  So it is not my firewall or
Comcast.  I'm missing something in the settings of stunnel.
Below are my settings and log file.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.
