    If you want stunnel to accept plaintext (unencrypted) connections and to
    establish an encrypted (SSL/TLS) connection to smtp.googlemail.com, you
    will either need to change the port from 587 (the "submission" service,
    a kind of simplified SMTP protocol) to 465 (SMTP over TLS), or, if you
    really insist on connecting to the submission service and then starting
    a TLS session, you will need to tell stunnel to start by speaking SMTP
    and issuing a STARTTLS command by also specifying "protocol = smtp".
    Either option (changing the connect line to specify port 465 or adding
    a "protocol = smtp" line) should work, I just tested them on my Debian
    setup.
    
    Hope that helps!
    
    G'luck,
    Peter
