[courier-users] Question about courier-imap and ssl

[Shaun T. Erickson]

I just installed it on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1. It's working nicely 
with my MySQL backend. Now I'd like to secure the connection.

Looking at the two startup scripts, it looks like there are two ways to 
secure the connection:

I don't understand the differences between the two methods, and why I 
might choose one over the other (or both?). Can someone educate me o 
this, please? TIA.
