Hi Robert,

When I run stunnel nothing seems to be happening. The terminal accepts the command but does nothing. The log file doesn't produce any output either nor does running stunnel in the foreground.

(...)

What is meant to happen when I run stunnel, is there a way that I can test if it is working. I previously tested imapd using telnet 0 143. I'm using this

http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.4.0.html

article but its out of date, uses 3.x command line inputs, so I've tried to convert those to the config file.

put the following in your stunnel.conf to have useful debugging informations for 4.x:

# Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = /tmp/stunnel.log

# comment out pid = line, that causes problems. # (to be re-enabled later if you need) # pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid

launch your stunnel process with the following:

stunnel stunnel.conf

and watch your logfile at the same time:

tail -f /tmp/stunnel.log

Regards,

Olivier
