I am trying to send email over stunnel from a client that doesn't support encryption to a server that does.

The local socket opens just fine, but it never really seems to connect to the remote server. A tcpdump shows only three packets exchanged between the two systems (Syn, Syn/Ack, Ack). The behavior is the same regardless of which tls enabled port I point stunnel at. I am able to connect to these ports via telnet and send email so I know the connection can be negotiated.

I am using the 4.21 build for windows (XP SP2) found on the main webpage.

Help!

; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1

; Workaround for Eudora bug ; my email client isn't eudora, but given how ; it doesn't support standards like encrypted ; transport..... options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS

; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7

; Use it for client mode client = yes
