I don't think you should need the protocol line. You could also try 
updating to the latest version of Stunnel. And check that you are 
linking to Stunnel from TP's configuration settings for SMTP as detailed 
in the post I've just made before this.

You could also look at the stunnel.log file to ensure that Stunnel is 
actually being invoked and, assuming it is, to see what error is being 
thrown up. You could also turn on TP's own debugging and wee what that 
shows.
