More on SSL

Having accepted that I wouldn't be able to get spambayes to work with 
hotmail pop, I've been forced to revisit the stunnel possibility by the 
increasing realisation that Spamihilator was completely and utterly useless, 
and seemed to learn nothing in the year or so I had it working, and the fact 
that Spambayes stopped working with my Virgin email (rebranded gmail). For 
some reason, although it would get the list of messages fine, and (usually) 
download the first message fine, it would hang thereafter, although 
eventually, after a day or so, manage to download all the messages.  But not 
usable, really.

Problem is that I can't get stunnel to work, and it seems to be a spambayes 
problem, in that if I get outlook express to go direct through stunnel, 
everything goes fine, but put spambayes in the middle and it doesn't work.

Configuration is outlook express->spambayes listening on port 15110 with 
mail server set to 127.0.0.1:16110->stunnel listening on port 16110 in 
client mode->pop.virgin.net:995.  SSL not specified at any level (but 
inherent in use of stunnel).  outlook express->stunnel listening on port 
16110 in client mode->pop.virgin.net:995 works.

The error message I'm getting from outlook express is bizarre - it says "The 
server responded with an error. Account: 'Virgin', Server: 'localhost', 
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: 'gin Media POP3 server ready [ 
e4c558782VN ].', Port: 15110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, 
Error Number: 0x800CCC90".  So the server response appears truncated when 
fed via spambayes (but not via stunnel alone).  I get a similar error text 
with hotmail.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling spambayes, and turned off message 
caching.  I really, really don't want to dispense with my hammie and spammie 
db's as these are obviously the reason that spambayes has a near perfect 
record, even now.

Any suggestions as to what could be going wrong?

Thanks
