Perhaps the FAILED status is since stunnel wasn't up (crashed due to big file).
Run service stunnel start and checkout the /var/log/stunnel.log

Thank you.

Code:
 
[root@mail1 ~]# service stunnel stop
Shutting down stunnel:                                     [FAILED]
[root@mail1 ~]# service stunnel start
Starting stunnel:
[root@mail1 ~]# /var/log/stunnel.log
-bash: /var/log/stunnel.log: Permission denied

So does that mean that the permissions need adjusting on the log file? I think I'm getting the hang of this a little.

Can you post :
Code:
ps -ef | grep stunnel

You don't execute the log, tail it for instance (read it)
Code:
tail -100 /var/log/stunnel.log

And post back here.

Quite probably. ls -l /var/log/stunnel.log

I did check there were no grep instances running, it came back clear again.
The other one didnt do anything, and Corona688's suggestion just showed the file details.

Code:
root@mail1 ~]# ps -ef | grep stunnel
root     24723 24139  0 16:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep stunnel
[root@mail1 ~]# tail -100 /var/log/stunnel.log
[root@mail1 ~]# ls -l /var/log/stunnel.log
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Sep 12 15:27 /var/log/stunnel.log

Keep the suggestions coming Smilie

Disk is full probably, /var mountpoint, you can check with df -h

I'm 100% sure the disk isn't full. Just to be on the safe side though I did check

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
220G 45G 165G 22% /
/dev/sda1 99M 25M 70M 27% /boot
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm

Please make it work again.
