Of course not, but what is possibly lost by using it? I don't use TLS,
I haven't felt a need to encrypt my personal email, but really, if you
can make the connection between your system and the next one even a
little more secure, isn't that a good thing? Are you seriously trying to
tell me that attempting to use TLS with a host with which you have no
prior agreement will be LESS secure than not using it?

If you want guarantees... well there aren't any guarantees in life. We
just do what we can.
