sure.  but the point of this exercize is to allow remote users to
send email without having an open relay.  since relays are only
an issue for email that is redirected offsite as an internal user,
tls seems like overkill -- and one more thing to break.

even over tls, it seems inconvinent to use two different passwords
(really the password and secret) for sending and downloading email.
