RFC2487-style SSL/TLS (the "STARTTLS" extension to SMTP) isn't
excessively difficult with any of the most-used MTAs, in any event.
Some (Postfix, Qmail, Exim) require patching/extensions or a prepatched
package. Some (Sendmail, Courier-MTA) do not. But you need to install
OpenSSL, then make or get and sign appropriately an SSL cert, for any
MTA -- and do necessary MTA configuration work.

Exim http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_38.html

Cheers, Emacs is a good operating system, but I prefer Linux.
