It is a warning, and not an error.
See https://www.stunnel.org/auth.html

You probably need something like:

    [SMTP Outgoing]
    client = yes
    accept = 127.0.0.1:<src_port>
    connect = <server_host>:<server_port>
    verify = 2
    CAfile = ca-certs.pem
    checkHost = <server_host>

> Any help or suggests would be greatly appreciated.

Send your stunnel.conf, and a larger sample of your logs.

Preferably, read the following HOWTO:
