HowTo: Stunnel on the Readynas
This is a guide to utilize Stunnel to establish an SSL connection with your SMTP provider, in my case, Gmail. In turn, I am using Stunnel to manage connections made by a printer/copier/scanner/emaile...
Will,
I implemented stunnel following your instructions and all seems well. The printer can send scans as email attachments using a Gmail account I created for it.
I believe the only place I deviated was not specifying a PEM file ("-p /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem") in /etc/init.d/stunnel. It seems that PEM files can no longer be generated at stunnel.org. There was just a mysterious notation that one would be automatically generated during installation. I also got the impression that I might not need it. So far, I've not noticed any problems with leaving it out.
Thanks again.
