This is for folks running their own *MTA*, right?

Would you enlighten us non-mail gurus to what "roughly resembles secure"
means? I thought I was secure, due to SSL, but now I'm not sure. Here
is one of my TBird configs:
Incoming mail:
Server settings:
Security Settings:
- Use Secure connection: SSL
- Use secure authentication: unchecked (b/c over SSL)
Outgoing mail:
Port: 587
Security and Authentication:
- Use name and password
- Use secure connection: TLS
Since I'm encrypting the layer (SSL and TLS), and assuming I haven't
blindly accepted any SSL/TLS certificates (I haven't), I'm good to go, yes?
Thanks,
Kevin
