[pmmail-list] My working stunnel settings for GMail<--->PMMail

[Ben Stover]

Hi Philip,

Port 1105? I see no port 1105.

It is good (best) practice to append a "9" at the end of the standard ports

110
and
25

and use them for local SSH entry.

However this is not a must.
If you want to use 995 then it is up to you.
It should work as well.

Ben
