[stunnel-users] Goldmine 6.7 behind a Server

Thu Sep 15 00:42:48 CEST 2011

Hi Blake,  We've been using Goldmine 6.7 and stunnel for years.   At the 
bottom of my email, I've pasted our stunnel config file.  Some thoughts:

1) I'm not a stunnel expert at all.  The config file you see below was 
pulled right from the download and then tweaked slightly to make it 
work.  I received the tweak help from this forum.  I could be mistaken 
because its been a few years, but I believe one of the key tweaks was 
the addition of the line:  sslVersion = TLSv1

2) We looked at one time at using the gmail servers, but their POP 
servers are non-standard.  In Goldmine, this was very relevant to us 
because we wanted Goldmine to delete and email from the POP server if 
that email was found to match a contact in Goldmine.  The gmail servers 
refused to do this so we avoided gmail and found a standard POP server 
provider.

3) We use the same network installation and mapped network drive 
configuration for Goldmine that you describe.  We found that the stunnel 
installation must be on the local machine.

Regards,  Jeff
