do neither. I strongly recommend you to use stunnel, I don't think that 
anything had been done about SSL in INN since my tries with our server 
last year (please correct me if I am wrong). I had not much luck with the 
built-in SSL-support of INN, neither with 2.4.2 nor with 2.4.3. It made 
the server unusable for most clients except for the users who use Outlook 
Express (really! Isn't this annoying?). So spare you the pain and use 
stunnel.

Best regards,
