  I need more information to answer the question.
  Does the POP mail server *require* encryption of all mail traffic? Or =
only during 
authentication?
  Since the server only requests encryption, PMMail can politely decline=
.

  I am curious. These "security reasons": What are they? Who established=
 them? What 
security problem(s) does encrypting mail traffic solve? Is there no exce=
ption policy in 
place that the admins can follow?
