The mail reading software must use the POP server
localhost:6666.  your.mail.server must run an ssh daemon
on port 22 (no surprise there) and a POP server on port 110.

We use this with our regular SMTP/IMAP/POP3 servers.  On site
we connect directly, off-site through an SSH tunnel, same server
software.
