Why not ? Using either of these solutions simplify the job of
popa3d considerably. Stunnel chroots and drops privileges. 
Popa3d employs privilege separation techniques, this means
a mininimum amount of code is run with privileges. This is
the way I want applications on my machines to run.

Crucial ? I've been running pop3 + ssl using stunnel for months
now on quite a few machines. It doesn't seem like I'm missing
anything crucial.
