Hmm, I have :

listen-address: 0.0.0.0:995;tls=immediate,certificate=/etc/mail/cert 0.0.0.0:11000

And yet when I telnet to 995 I get intelligible text which is not what
I'd expect from an "immediate" connection.

Is this a suggested configuration for TLS-only on port pop3s (995)?

(This is the kind of info I'm after that isn't in the docs. The docs
seem to pre-suppose a faint clue about TLS which I openly admit I do not
really have.)
