Using edebug to step through `smtpmail-open-stream' would give the
best information.  (See trouble shooting section of Gnus manual.)

After looking more carefully at my setup, I noticed the key/cert files
I specified no longer exists (I moved them away in a upgrade or two
ago).  I'm sending this message using:

 '(smtpmail-starttls-credentials (quote (("localhost" 2500 "" ""))))

I'm not sure how to get the entries to be nil with customize.

(Port 2500 is ssh-port forwarded to 587 on my mail server.)
