Correct me if I'm wrong, but this help sounds like help for listeners,
and my trouble is in sending mail to a smarthost, not receiving from...
the smarthost I'm sending to is what it is, I can't make any changes
there... and the reason SSL & TSL came up is because in my thunderbird
installation, SSL is what my SMTP is configured to, which makes it
communicate over port 465.
