Ever heard of DTS-Mail? Feedback requested

We just learned of a tool that seems to come from RedHat, called
STUNNEL-3.22.EXE
The description for this tool is:

Stunnel is a socket wrapper which can provide SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) support to ordinary applications. For example, it can be used
in conjunction with imapd to create an SSL secure IMAP server.

Has anyone run this in the Berkeley campus environment?
Are there any inherent problems running this on a Windows XP workstation?

We have an application using CalMail for SMTP that will need to be
re-written (but it won't happen before March 1, 2005).
It is a production process that must continue after SSL is required by CalMail.

What I don't know is whether or not these DLL's and EXE cause other
problems in an environment like we have at Berkeley (e.g. active directory,
SSL encryption of Calmail traffic, Minimum Standards for Network Security,
Windows XP, etc).

If anyone has seen this product, used it, or knows about how it would
interact with our campus processes, please give me some feedback.
We're trying to make sure we don't introduce problems into our environment.

Thanks!
