Socat help on Suse?

I'm trying to secure log transfer off of a server and I am attempting to use Socat to do this. I am using the following syntax:

tail -f /var/log/messages | socat -u - openssl:servername:443,verify=0

The command runs and continues to run as if it is tailing a file, however, I get no response at the other end on my SSL listener. It DOES make the connection though, just nothing comes through. Netstat shows a connection established. Generic certs are being used, but they aren't checked for this example.

Thanks,

bapace
 
The server is a windows box and does not have SSH for unknown reasons. The application that I am connecting to has a listener for SSLized traffic which is what I'm trying to use. I like that solution for *nix to *nix however. Thanks for the input, could come in use later.
 
You realize that once the log file gets rotated you'll stop getting messages because tail will still have the old log file opened, right?
