[stunnel-users] blackhole problem - please help to tune stunnel

[Michael S. Chusovitin]

Thanks Michal...

Thus the _only_ way to deliver the data reliably through stunnel is some
application-level integrity protocol?
I believed that many people use stunnel for wide variety of applications
and so they should succeed in workarounding this trouble. Maybe I am
missing something about the well-known good practice of stunnel usage?..
