I'm having some health problems and I can't see what I'm
typing very well. So, please excuse any typos that I make...

Well, what exactly do you need TLS for? For SMTP or for POP or
for both? Anyway, I can't see any problems with your needs
and qmail (e.g., authentication before relaying). They are
reasonably simple to implement and I guess that if you already
installed sendmail, that you won't have problems experimenting
qmail. You might even setup a guinea pig box to see how it
feels...
Let me give you a pointer: go to www.qmail.org and search the
(huge) page for the strings you're looking for. And for TLS,
I'd recommend using sslwrap or stunnel. I assume that you
already have a certificate generated for your connections. A
visit to http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html will also be useful, I
think.
I hope this helps.
Great site you have, BTW. :-)
[]s, Roger...
