Is there a how-to you followed to get this working?  I followed one at 
http://bio.fsu.edu/sysalex/freebsd-mail-server_v2.htm and I can't get Kmail 
to authenticate via TLS/SSL.  I ran an nmap scan, and 110 and 995 are both 
listed as open now, so I think I set qpopper up correctly, but I'm not 
certain.

Thanks for your help.
