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?
