Thanks Ludholf,
Re Q2 - Solved.
Re Q1 - Thanks, but I should have been clearer, I wanted an automated solution. My nightly Blat e-mails come from a command line .cmd file. I have recently added a javascript to check if stunnel is active and, if not, start it before my e-mails. Now I would like to create a similar script that, if stunnel is running, stops it after my e-mail. I may just have to use Windows Script Host's Terminate.

I am running 4.27 on Vista and can successfully start it and use Blat to e-mail via my gmail account using stunnel.
However, I have two questions:
Q1: I would like to close down stunnel after sending my e-mails. How can I do that on Vista?
Q2: Why do I get the following when I enter "stunnel -help" at the command line
A window with the heading "Stunnel 4.27 on Win32 (not configured)" that says: Stunnel server is down due to an error. You will need to exit and correct the problem Click OK to see the error log window
The error log is:

Michael,
did you try to right-click on the stunnel icon in the systray and select "Exit"?
Q2: Why do I get the following when I enter "stunnel -help" at the command line
This is stunnel's way to output the help message (or other messages) on windows.
If stunnel used stdio for messages, you would have seen the help message in the command prompt window you entered "stunnel -help" in. However, there isn't necessarily a command prompt window stunnel is attached to. Imagine to invoke "stunnel -help" via [start]->[run].

Mike,
I didn't try, but if you run stunnel as a service, you could start and stop it from the command line ("stunnel -start" / "stunnel -stop"). See the man page for details.
HTH,
