Check your qmail box by telnetting port 25. After the greeting, type
starttls and hit enter. If it's TLS ready, it should respond with a '220
ready for tls'.

I should have said essentially the same. I was trying to keep it simple,
not to misinform. At the time TLS was being standardized, there were
issues with RSA being under patent, DES which was never considered
secure, and 512 key lengths which really shouldn't be used nowadays.

Sorta kinda. ;) They're both encrypted connections, but they're just a tad
different in the way they're initiated. In simple terms, with SSL a
dedicated port is used strictly for encrypted communications, and all
traffic on the port is encrypted. With TLS, a 'normal'
TLS is SSL. By default your toaster should attempt attempt an encrypted
connection every time it connects to a foreign host. To go further, you
may wish to use SSL between your server and its clients. POP3 SSL (port
995) is ready to go with the default build of toaster. But you need to
