Ok.  Ignore my previous messages.  I've got TSL working, but APOP is not 
working, even though the server says it supports it.  I get an error about 
some DB not existing.  Any ideas?

Also, I followed the previously listed example to create a certificate.  How 
do I use my existing web certificates?  I think they're separate cert/key 
files.  Do I need to combine these?  Is it better to make a second cert/key 
for my mail server, only sign it with my CA cert?  I've created my own CA 
that my users trust, I just don't do this often enough to remember the 
process.

Almost there with this part!
