[olug] POP3 SSL

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

I've seen some commercial mail systems that do POP3 over SSL.  I've never
seen any pre-packaged OSS software that does that.

Some ideas:
 * Try custom compiling some POP3 daemons (ie qpopper) from source - one
   might have SSL as a compile-time option.
 * Search for sslwrap on freshmeat.  It's a SSL wrapper for non-SSL
   programs.  It might do what you want.
