stunnel 4.35 hangs on slackware64 13.37
by crocket 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

If I rotate stunnel logs with logrotate and have logrotate send SIGUSR1 signal to stunnel, stunnel doesn't close and reopen a new log and hangs. If I rotate stunnel logs and have logrotate send SIGHUP to stunnel, stunnel writes two lines to a new log but hangs after then. It could be a CPU problem because my D525 ATOM CPU had a problematic history with other programs. But I'm not sure of this. Can anybody else reproduce the problem?

Quick inquiry from a Stunnel dummie [?] Can you point me to any doc on compatibility of Stunnel with Windows 7 64-bit? Any particular version required? Any/all feedback is appreciated. -- Tracy Drake BI Senior Consultant GSA-FAS FAME Contractor URSA Support & Training Team Lead 704-987-1211 tracy.drake(a)gsa.gov

stunnel.exe stops connecting
by Mike Brazil 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

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. I have added the following to stunnel.conf: client = yes debug = debug [pop3s] accept = 127.0.0.1:11010 connect = camel.arvixe.com:995 [ssmtp] accept = 25 connect = camel.arvixe.com:465 Other than adding those lines, I've not changed anything in the rest of stunnel.conf as it comes with the program. 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. -- Mike Brazil mike(a)milibra.net

stunnel 4.44 - tools/Makefile $(ssldir) vs $(SSLDIR)
by Sebastian Kayser 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi, I am building a recent stunnel version for Solaris via opencsw.org and with 4.44 it seems as if --with-ssl is used to AC_SUBST([SSLDIR]), yet tools/Makefile uses lowercase $(ssldir). Lead to an empty expansion and failed calls to openssl in my case. $ grep -i ssldir Makefile tools/Makefile Makefile:SSLDIR = /opt/csw tools/Makefile:SSLDIR = /opt/csw tools/Makefile:openssl = $(ssldir)/bin/openssl Sebastian

Goldmine 6.7 behind a Server
by Blake Miller 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

We are planning to transition our email service to Google Apps with our Goldmine 6.7 Corporate Edition so need to use Stunnel. We have Goldmine setup and run from a central Server and a shared/networked drive F: Each client machine runs Goldmine, BUT via the server path noted earlier. When logged in locally to the server and running Goldmine locally, everything works great. Stunnel is connected, we're able to send/receive email, etc. However from a remote machine, it doesn't work. Have tried installing stunnel on the local machine. Have tried accessing the said ports via the Server's IP address from within the network. And have hacked around different config setups without luck. Being a NOOB with Stunnel, we're at a loss with further configuration without literally 'hacking around' in the dark any further. Our config file is just below Thanks in advance.

stunnel claims it needs certificate
