If you own a remote server to connect to, you might as well take
this opportunity to open a port that accepts Secure SMTP, so you
can send your email messages without other people on the sending
or receiving network (or your ISP!) listening in on what you
have to say.

Stunnel 4 comes with a stunnel.conf file that includes these
lines;  simply uncommenting them and restarting stunnel should
open up an SSMTP port:

    [ssmtp]
    accept  = 465
    connect = 25

Most mail clients now offer a checkbox interface that lets you
connect to Secure SMTP instead of the regular kind.
