Your clients should be more worried about why remote access to their
SPAM filter is needed at all.  If they have to run a local stunnel
command to connect, how is that different to running a local ssh port
forward ?  If you are running stunnel permanently on a host how would
you be preventing someone else from using it also ? Wouldn't they have a
VPN somewhere in this equation that would give them access as if they
were a local client anyway ?

If you really just want the comfort of the user seeing https in the URL
can you not proxy forward to ASSP from, say, apache ?
