SSL currently only works for communication between the server and
clients directly connected to it.  It does not work for server to server
communication.  Information on configuring it can be found here:

If you're looking for complete end to end encryption, you'll want to use
a client that's capable of GPG encryption in combination with the above.
This will encrypt your message before sending it to the other end.
