Hello to all members.
someone maybe knows what is stunnel 4.07 ?
it's always in status : not running on my server
I don't know what is it.
I use Plesk CP 7.5.6 for windows.

Plesk SSL Wrapper Service is, in fact, "stunnel" utility. You use it for
securing mail and other services using the SSL protocol. But by default it is
not configured and switched off because Plesk cannot make assumptions on what
ports it should use for standard services.

tunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) available on both Unix and Windows. Stunnel can allow you to secure non-SSL aware daemons and protocols (like POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by having Stunnel provide the encryption, requiring no changes to the daemon's code.

Sounds like regular log entries for stunnel are quite normal. Any reason to be concerned about stunnel entries in my logs?

Any way to trace the entry back to what called it (a specific email, etc.)?
