Why not use stunnel?

http://www.stunnel.org/

--[snip]--
The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between
remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. It can be used to
add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP
servers without any changes in the programs' code

I have used it in quite a few scenarios, including sending Xymon reports to me
server from clients (web server, email server etc) on the Internet.
