I have been, the whole thing.  But I don't recall noticing you mention,
anywhere, that you make an unencrypted connection to stunnel, and it
makes an encrypted connection to the server under test, as a kind of
proxy.

The same seems apparent in your most recent conversations with the
original poster, too.  Considering the steps you're, now, outlining.

You're right, I didn't explain what stunnel did. I suppose I expect people to investigate before running commands given by strangers. :-)

In the first message I said to connect to localhost:110. I assumed that it would be clear that it wasn't encrypted.

In this message, I tried to be clear that it was pop3, not pop3s. But I suppose that might have been a little too subtle.

In future, I will keep in mind that this is the users list, not devel, and try to include more details.
