Hello!

Next question, slightly offtopic.

I've been working with openssl and stunnel to get Netscape Communicator's
SSl mail services to work.

IMAP and POP3, of course, work fine. SMTP is a different story.

Now, the way I understand it, there are three options for SMTP under
netscape 4.51:

1) No encyption
2) If available (EHLO STARTTLS negotiation)
3) Always (SSL tunnel)

(Information was from a newsgroup article by someone from Netscape)

Now, using a SSL wrapper like stunnel should work with option 3 and
specifying the SMTP server as "server:xxx" where xxx is the port number
that the tunnel is using (like the smtps port of 465).

The only thing is that it doesn't work. :( Has anyone seen this work or am
I missing something, or is Communicator just broken? 

This is with stunnel 3.2 and openssl .9.2b
