Hi! New to this list and this product. I posted this on the Amazon forums, but I need to fix this fast, so I thought I would post it here as well. I am running stunnel 5.04 for Windows on a Windows 2012 R2 instance. I have it working with SES, but after a while it just keeps timing out. I have to manually reload the configuration file to get it to start working again. What am I doing wrong? Here is a part of the log: 2014.10.09 07:43:57 LOG5964 <https://forums.aws.amazon.com/>: Service smtp-tls-wrapper <https://forums.aws.amazon.com/> accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:62779 2014.10.09
