So stunnel had problems connecting.

There should be something in the stunnel.log file, which resides in the
current working directory from which stunnel was started.

I'm getting for example this output:

2004.07.05 12:42:47 LOG7[17268:16384]: nntpsfree accepted FD=7 from 127.0.0.1:35751

2004.07.05 12:42:47 LOG7[17274:16386]: nntpsfree started
2004.07.05 12:42:47 LOG5[17274:16386]: nntpsfree connected from 127.0.0.1:35751

Something must be wrong with stunnel's resolver.
