stunnel.pem line 1: No '=' found

Hi,

I am having a problem connecting successfully to my localhost using
telnet. I use Mandrake 9.1. and use Postifix-2.0.6.

The following is the message I am receiving.

telnet localhost 995
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to gladnessproductions.com (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
file /etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel.pem line 1: No '=' found
Connection closed by foreign host.

Please take note of the error message: file
/etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel.pem line 1: No '=' found
Connection closed by foreign host.

Does anyone know the reason of this message? I have searched the net
and did not get any clue as to what may be causing this error.

Following is my stunnel.conf file.

# Global Options
client = no
cert = /etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel.pem
key = /etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel.key
debug = daemon.info
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
socket = l:SO_LINGER=1:60

# Service specific configurations
[imaps]
accept = 993
connect = 143
exec = /usr/sbin/imapd
execargs = imapd

[pop3s]
accept = 995
exec = /usr/sbin/qpopper
execargs = qpopper

[nntps]
accept = 563
connect = 119

Can someone help.

John.
