Mikael nicely summed up the problems and respective positions.

Unfortunatly, i don't have the time to add GNU TLS support to
mail-notification but this seem like the best way to go.

For those who, _like me_, absolutly want SSL support... well, you can
rebuild the mail-notification package after removing --disable-ssl in
debian/rules (changing the version number in changelog is also a good
practice so you don't get confused with official packages).

In the Debian Bug Tracker, i've tagged that bug "help" and this still applies.
I welcome with open hands anyone who could provide a patch
implementing SSL support using GNU TLS.
