Red Hat generously provide a Makefile at  /usr/share/ssl/certs

you can then make your own stunnel.pem etc.

If you read the Makefile all the commands are easily shown.

This will allow you to make your own certs.  If you connect using a
standard mail client it will still complain that it is not from a
recognised body - but at least you can accept it forever.
