Hi David,
i had a very similar problem with stunnel and POP3 on my mail server.
I installed and run stunnel pretty much the same way you did and tried to
retrieve
mail with Eudora 5.1 which failed (unfortunately you didn't mention your Eudora
error message so I can't tell if it's the same one).
When I tried to connect with Outlook Express everything works just fine.
I guess this might be a problem in the SSL implementation in Eudora but I'm
not to sure about that. I've tried to find more information on SSL on the
Qualcomm
pages but they don't provide anything there.
Sorry that I can not help you but let me know if find out anything about
this issue.
Regards,
Lordy
