This is no smart solution IMHO. It is a bit tricky to get stunnel running
under tcpserver, but once set up it is a fine solution. Markus Stumpf (maex)
posted a script for pop3 a few days ago similar to the one I'm using, works
like a charm.
The preferred method for SMTP is via STARTTLS imho, there a patches for that
- spend a few seconds on qmail.org.
