I may be misunderstanding your config and mistakenly assuming 
similarities to our config because our stunnel config and functionality 
is identical on our Goldmine server and Goldmine workstations.  If it 
works on the server I don't see how it wouldn't work on the workstations.

We use the same config file on all machines -- both client and server.  
Perhaps our client-server config is different that yours.  Here's our:

1) Our Goldmine server machine is internal to our LAN.
2) Our Goldmine client machines are internal to our LAN.
3) Our email server is external to our LAN .  Our email server is a 
different machine than our Goldmine server.
