Arnie, I have had and realized some of the same dreams as you. There are a few other plusses to doing things the way you stated, but I won't bother going into that here since it really doesn't fit. As for the pop3 on SSL, I've never done that, I chose instead to do imap over ssl for sblan.net. For purposes of attempting an answer, I'll assume that pop3 over ssl and imap over ssl are similar enough at this level of setup. The trick was creating a cert file that contained both the private and public key for the imap server in one file. Then this file was placed in /etc/ssl/certs (your location obviously may vary). To create the file, I just cat'd the signed public key (cert) from the CA I set up and appended it to the private key file I created for the imap server. Sorry it's not a more complete answer, but maybe enough to point you in the right direction.
