Bill, please be more careful about answering questions with incorrect
information. tls_on_connect does not involve sending the STARTTLS
command _at_all_. The connection is SSL-encrypted from the moment it's
opened.

This has come up before; if you're going to recommend to random list
posters that they configure 587 for tls_on_connect, please warn them
explicitly that your configuration is very non-standard.
