I had the same problem and after trawling the rt-{users,devel} archives I installed Net_SSLeay.pm-1.22.tar.gz but I got the same result (yes, I restarted apache.) Then I re-installed LWP and restarted apache and I still got the same error. In the end I configured apache to open up HTTP access from the mailgate host (in this case localhost) and it seems to work.

If anyone solves this problem properly I would be most interested in the recipe.
