Yes I followed that, but it needs fetching `swaks`, and I need to have
EACH preceeding stage to pass, and the failure of `stunnel` caused me to
abort - even if swaks doesn't call stunnel.

The notion of 'confirmation at every stage' has become very BIG for me,
and is essential to the power of the piping/concatenative style used so
much in *nix.

BTW I've got negative ideas on the obsession to update [promoted by M$].
Currently I use slak13 ca. 2009; and `chroot <DebLenny> which stunnel`
is empty.

Thanks,
