The point of stunnel is that it will encrypt the communication using SSL, and your client doesn't have to know anything about SSL. So, either: 1) Have stunnel do the SSL encryption. Then stunnel provides *unencrypted ordinary SMTP and POP* at its special port (465). This means, you have to turn off SSL in mozilla! It just has a local connection to stunnel. Or: 2) Since mozilla knows how to do SSL, switch SSL on and contact your SMTP-SSL server directly, not via stunnel. Personnaly, I use ssh-forwarded tunnels, and mozilla is happy with that. In this case you can even double the encryption: forward SMTP-SSL over ssh. This is completely unnecessary, so just forget about this paragraph :) Michael
