Actually, that's why I suggested tls_interfaces. Slight variation on both.

For hosts with a single interface or want to listen globally, they could do:

tls_interfaces = *::x : *::y

I forgot exactly how interfaces worked, but I think this would be more
configurable than just specifying tls_on_connect.

For inetd, they could still use the command line switch.

Personally, since I don't cater to broken mail clients, I wouldn't have a
use for this option.
