The existing implementation supports doing an SSL handshake using STARTTLS, which provides encryption for the actual email traffic. You are asking, it seems, to support a server that only listens on an already encrypted connection, and doesn't use STARTTLS. That would, in my book, be an *enhancement request* and not a bug. Your PR has removed the STARTTLS support - what is supposed to happen when connecting to a server that listens unencrypted and expects to use STARTTLS to initiate encypted traffic?
