The new Stunnel Version 4.12 doesn't work well with POPs mail retrieval
on my system. Reverting back to 4.11 fixes it perfectly. With 4.12,
various emails wouldn't come through, got random timeouts, LONG email
retrieval times mainly. Sometimes an email would be impossible to
retrieve from the spool file.

Running Stunnel with default parameters. Standalone I believe

POPs runs off xinetd.
