David,

    I may be able to receive your e-mail over SMTP/TLS
    if your credential for MX have been registered on 
    various CAs.
    I have only relf-signed credential at this moment
    because I don't have such $$$ for my MX.
    IMHO, retry w/o TLS is not required on failure
    of TLS session.
