Their stance on SSL (basically, they don't do it because of patent issues),
in the above referenced link, and their current support level in the new
release (http://www.pmail.com/v4_release.htm) --- it is on the table to be
done real soon now --- makes me, once again, put them into the
"non-starter, check back in six-nine months" category.
They at least do CRAM-MD5 authentication on the SMTP
side. (http://www.pmail.com/faqs/faqs_wst.htm) Last time I looked, I was
unable to find any evidence of this. This does not mean that they could
not do it, just that I could not find any evidence, so this, at least, is a
change for the good.

War is an ugly thing, but it is not the ugliest of things. The decayed and
degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is
worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to
fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a
miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made so by the
exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill
