I was running stunnel-4.08 under Windows XP-Home, using MS IEX as browser and Netscape 4.6 for e-mail. My ISP is AT&T Worldnet and I am accessing

it via DSL and home wireless NW.

Here is stunnel.conf:

client = yes

[pop3] accept = 110 connect = ipostoffice.att.net:995

[smtp] accept = 25 connect = imailhost.att.net:465

As instructed by AT&T, the e-mail servers have been specified as "localhost", both POP-3 and SMTP.

The problem is that while I can download messages, I am unable to send e-mail because the "peer disconnects", and the log file carries the following messages:

2005.03.24 10:18:00 LOG5[2960:232]: smtp connected from 127.0.0.1:2194 2005.03.24 10:18:00 LOG5[2960:2428]: smtp connected from 127.0.0.1:2197 2005.03.24 10:18:01 LOG3[2960:232]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected 2005.03.24 10:18:01 LOG3[2960:2428]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected 2005.03.24 10:18:09 LOG3[2960:2084]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2005.03.24 10:18:09 LOG3[2960:3384]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

I have been able to run "openssl version" with the result:

"OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004"

but I am unable to obtain the other outputs specified under the instructions for the "Stunnel-Users Mailing List".

I have tried replacing libssl32.dll and libay32.dll with versions more recently downloaded (but with the same origination dates) and no improvement.

So I am sending this message from another system running Win98 and stunnel-4.05, also using Netscape 4.6, which seems to work o.k.

Please tell me how to get the right version number to work with stunnel-4.08, and WinXP. Additionally, it would be nice to know how to obtain the outputs suggested in the instructions for Stunnel-Users Mailing List.
