<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm running stunnel 4.44 for both POP3 and SMTP with my
email client, Outlook Express, and my Spam filter, Cactus Spam. The OS is Win XP
SP3.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have added the following to stunnel.conf:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>client = yes<BR>debug = debug</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>[pop3s]<BR>accept = 127.0.0.1:11010<BR>connect =
camel.arvixe.com:995</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>[ssmtp]<BR>accept = 25<BR>connect =
camel.arvixe.com:465</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Other than adding those lines, I've not changed anything
in the rest of stunnel.conf as it comes with the program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When I boot the computer, Outlook Express, Cactus Spam,
and stunnel all start and function correctly. However, after a period of time (a
few hours -- I haven't yet pinned down whether there is a specific length
to the time period), something goes wrong with stunnel, in that it stops
communicating with Outlook Express, and it's CPU usage goes up to 25% (quad-core
Intel CPU) and stays at that level indefinitely until I terminate the process.
It is only the stunnel.exe process that is affected -- the service continues to
run without error. I then restart stunnel.exe, and it works normally once again
for a few hours. I usually become aware that stunnel has stopped connecting with
Outlook Express when I come back to the computer after a few hours away from it,
so I have so far been unable to see whether anything observable occurs when it
gets into trouble or whether the length of time it ran properly varies or is
constant.</FONT></DIV>
