Katie,

I can't really help you directly, but am about half way through translating 
the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO 
(http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html) 
into a form that works for Debian-Sarge/Testing, and have just finished the 
Postfix/Cyrus-Imap part including the TLS/SSL setup.

Unfortunately regarding SSL, I have just followed the existing HOWTO with 
minor modifications that 'seem right' for the Debian setup.  I understand the 
basic concepts behind SSL, but I don't know openssl/stunnel well enough to be 
able to offer any advice for your situation. Sorry.

I have used qmail a lot (although not on Debian) and it has some distinct 
limitations (although it does have good points too).  Can I ask why you have 
chosen qmail rather than postfix?

Cheers,

Rasjid.
