Sergio,
<disclaimer>
First, let me state that I don't think you gain any "real" leverage
against determined spammers by using SMTPS as opposed to SMTP, however,
there are probably far fewer spammers trying to use SMTPS as opposed to
plaintext SMTP, because there are misconfigured SMTP servers all over the
net...so spammers will always look for the easier targets.

You should be able to use stunnel and openssl to generate (and sign) your
own certificates which then wrap the SMTP session in the SSL layer. The
docs are not plentiful, but should suffice. stunnel will run quite
happily under tcpserver, by the way...
Typically, SMTPS listens on port 465.

Best of luck,
