Stunnel 4.07 and 4.08 don't build under HPUX 10.20. 4.06 appears to build, but doesn't appear to work---with a config file like this, running on the local host:
pid = /usr/local/var/stunnel/stunnel.pid client = yes foreground = yes # debug = debug [pop3s] accept = 110 connect = our-pop-host:995...and an attempt like this, using (for instance) Emacs 21.4a's movemail:
movemail po:foner:localhost NEWMAIL [the-password]...I get an infinite hang. Enabling debugging causes stunnel to spit out an infinite stream of a single line at maximum rate, and seems unaffected by whether I'm trying to connect to it or not:
# stunnel test-stunnel.conf

You can fix this particular problem by editing the src/network.c file and replacing the poll() invocation around line 128 with:
retval=poll(fds->ufds, fds->nfds, timeout<0 ? -1 : 1000*timeout);
...as it is in 4.07's network.c.
I'm not sure about the 4.07 and 4.08 build errors; I might take a closer look later on.
