I had started without the switches, but then the mail fetch would hang
after "Loading vm-crypto...done".  I added the switches when 
"stunnel -V" told me that stunnel was running in background, server 
mode:

    stout-test1> stunnel -V

    stunnel 3.13 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu PTHREAD+LIBWRAP

    Default behaviour:
            run in inetd mode (unless -d used)
            run in background (unless -f used)
            run in ssl server mode (unless -c used)

    Compile time defaults:
            -v level        no verify
            -a directory    (none)
            -A file         /usr/share/ssl/cert.pem
            -S sources      2
            -t timeout      300 seconds
            -B bytes        64
            -D level        5
            -P pid dir      /var/run/
            -p pemfile      in server mode: /usr/share/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem
                            in client mode: none


Adding the "-f" in particular stopped it from hanging, but it then
returned with the error described above.
