Not excessively difficult with any of the most-used MTAs, in any event.
Some (Postfix, Qmail, Exim) require patching/extensions or a prepatched
package.  Some (Sendmail, Courier-MTA) do not.  But you need to make or
get and then sign appropriately an SSL cert, for any MTA -- and do
necessary MTA configuration work.
