indeed, no reason why any application couldn't use SSL SMTP, but if the developers of an application have chosen not to develop support for it .... then no amount of configuration will get there.
Although Apache (
James) server supports receiving mail with TLS, it can't send mail with TLS or SSL.
php doesn't support SSL SMTP - so that's two of the internet's most popular server software ranges that only work with basic SMTP
Anyway - sounds like the original question is tentatively answered, it seems like VM intend to remove support for basic SMTP, and so far although a few helpful pointers, they either misunderstand the issue, or don't quite fit the requirement.
Thanks for the helpful replies nonetheless.
