Sorry about that! Some really ugly bug in my test setup! :P

Isn't port 995 assigned to pop3s? I am using this because we want to 
exclude unecrypted connections

That's the point we want SSL (TLS actualy) only sessions. STARTTLS 
implies that the connection starts unecrypted and then you request to be 
encrypted using STARTTLS. This will allow users to use the connection 
unecrypted if they choose not to use STARTTLS. Right?

We do not want this as this will allow unencrypted connections.

We do want this but allow only TLS (not SSLv2 or SSLv3)

To get an idea of our setup. There is a dovecot backend which is 
configured to accept cleartext connections. We want perdition to accept 
TLS only connections and talk to dovecot in cleartext. Is this possible? 
Why does ssl_listen works and tls_listen isn't?
