Thanks Doug for the reply…
Where is this “Menu option”?

Hi Ed,

Two quick items from memory:

1.	I left the config file where it put it and use the menu option to
update it as needed. I copy it as needed to make a backup. 

2.	For a certificate there was an option in the doc to create a
self-signed cert and that has worked ok for me.

HTH,

Doug

Chip       (and anyone else that wants to chime in),



Somehow, for this computer professional, this just isn’t coming together.



I downloaded STUNNEL and installed it.  It had an icon in the Notification
area of my toolbar and I can bring up a log file:



:56 LOG5[main]: stunnel 5.38 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform

:56 LOG5[main]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2j-fips  26 Sep 2016

:56 LOG5[main]: Threading:WIN32 Sockets:SELECT,IPv6
TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI

:56 LOG5[main]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf

:56 LOG5[main]: UTF-8 byte order mark detected

:56 LOG5[main]: FIPS mode disabled

:56 LOG5[main]: Configuration successful



From the documentation that you referred me to below, I don’t see where to
place the configuration file so that it will find it. (I would prefer to
stay away from modifying the registry if possible. When I run BLAT, I just
specify everything and do not save to the registry.)



I don’t understand at all what a certificate has to do with this. Do I have
to go someplace and buy a certificate to make this work?



I know that by posting to the Yahoo Group, what we do here may help someone
else, but I am seriously embarrassed by how poorly I am doing getting this
to work and would appreciate some private help with this. My work schedule
only allows me one day a week to work on this.

Ernest,

Here is my stunnel.conf file that works with Hotmail, along with AT&T, 
Gmail, and Office365. To use these settings, when I want to send through 
Hotmail, I tell Blat to use IP 127.0.0.1 and port 8002 (-server 
127.0.0.1:8002). These can be set with the -install command line option for 
Blat. If you plan to use only Hotmail servers, you can set these as the 
default values. If you want to use other servers as well, then you should 
create a Hotmail profile with these values and then use the -profile option 
to choose which values to use for Blat.

As for a good document for using Stunnel specifically, I would hope there is

something available from the stunnel.org website 
( https://www.stunnel.org/docs.html <https://www.stunnel.org/docs.html> ). I
have stunnel configured to start 
with Windows so it is running before I need to use Blat.
