Not according to the manual. "-l 1 - Enables support for the STLS
command. This permits TLS/SSL negotiations on the standard (or any) port,
allowing the same port to be used by TLS/SSL "and" regular clients". There
is no way to set the port as TLS/SSL from my take on the manual.

Nope, I understand what alternate-port does. Currently I'm
running alternate-port on 995using the config file, and it only accepts
encrypted connections, and have set up port 110 with the "-l 1" qualifier,
which gives clear and encrypted communications

That's at the client end of Eudora. We also have Outlook users,
and Netscape users, but that's not what I'm getting at. The only way I can
keep port 110 open at the firewall, is to ensure that only encrypted
communications happen at that port, which with the way the current version
is set up, that's not possible
