I commented out the lines starting with checkHost, and started stunnel. It does start, and runs as a daemon. However, it doesn't seem to DO anything. However, that hasn't changed sendmail's behaviour one iota. As far as I can tell, stunnel is a massive waste of time. I don't really want to spend months reading all the stunnel docs to figure out how to get it to work with sendmail. Sendmail is hard enough on it's own, and I can mostly control sendmail (well, except for the STARTTLS problem.) Thanks, Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
