SSL encrypts the entire process. You make your own cert or you buy one - if you buy one, you get the benefit that your mail clients (specifically MS won't complain about an untrusted root authority...) You CAN get around this, by creating a self signed root certificate and installing this on EACH CLIENT, but then you have to support that process - which is way off topic - try running with the self generated one, read the manual, get it running, and then listen for complaints about warnings, then when the boxx complains, tell him the cost of a real certificate, and get him to buy one - for a single domain it is probably cheaper considering your hourly rate to figure it out.

I have a couple questions about the SSL support. Does SSL crypt the username and password being sent or would I need to enable APOP or something of that nature to protect the authentication info? Where can I get a X509 cert?
