Re: [WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] [ecs] GMAIL and POSTIE Mark Gilmore Sun, 30 Sep 2007 09:45:26 -0400

this apparently not supported in the free version:
         http://www.infradig.com/postie/readme.txt
          -tls             - try to enable SSL if the server supports it
                         (new style STARTTLS/STLS method).
                         (NOT AVAILABLE IN FREE VERSION)

but if you purchase the non-free version and can get it to work from 
the command line,
i will add support for this "-tls" argument.
