Secure Email with Marshallsoft

[omni]

Roger,

Have you ever had used Marshallsoft secure connection utilizing Stunnel? It works fine (after a learning curve) but it requires running Stunnel as a service on each work station. I have tried to run (start) Stunnel inside my app, but it locks up unless I do it with the RUN command and then close the dos window. Then it works. Obviously, I cannot do that with all my clients.
Marshallsoft is supposed to be coming out with an update to handle that, but did not know if you (or anybody else) has done it already.

Thanks

I haven't used stunnel in a long time. That's because I use the SSL feature of Xb2Net.

I use Marshallsoft libraries for email and ftp. I had a customer who required the stunnel stuff. I spent several days trying to get it to work (limitation in my knowledge). Mike Marshall was VERY helpful... couldn't have done it without him.

Ran into similar issues with running stunnel on each workstation. Mike said he had an update coming out soon... I opted for another solution. I set up an email account on my email server 'customer@ezpos.com' and let those customers who have issues use my smtp server to send mail. Has worked without a hiccup.

As an aside... Mike has been wonderful to deal with... almost as good as Roger. If anyone is considering his libraries, I highly recommend them and him.

After asking this, I looked at the see.ch file as a reference and did it successfully. Loads and unloads each time.

**this loads stunnel with mu configuration file seeconnect.txt

hprocess=DLLCALL("SEE32.DLL",DLL_STDCALL,"seeStartProgram",'Stunnel seeconnect.txt')

**add couple second delay after that call.

**this stops the stunnel
Code = XseeKillProgram(hProcess, 0)

I would guess he is doing something similar in his update in the next couple of weeks.

I'm trying to use Stunnel with the AsiNet email system to connect to my Gmail account.

Are you using Gmail?

If so, what does your STUNNEL.CONF file look like?

output = SMTPgmail.log
taskbar = yes
cert = stunnel.pem
client = yes

accept = 10.0.0.1:8025
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
