Is there well known documentation on how to do this?  With a variety
of mail clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora) to handle this
needs to be fairly painless.  Most Microsoft mail clients seem to
have a facility that says something like (its a while since I
looked) secure connection, and doesn't tell you whether it should be
usng TLS, SSL, PAM, or whatever.  I have the suspicion that one will
get what one is given, and it will be hard to determine what that
is. :-)  If it goes wrong, I also suspect that anyone looking at
this will be told to see the system administrator.... Pointers would
be useful.

         Thank you
