SMTP + STARTTLS

[Brian Stafford <brian stafford uklinux net>]

hi,

The following patch will enable the use of STARTTLS if it is available.
This should be harmless as long as at least libESMTP 0.8.4 is in use.
If the remote SMTP server does not offer the STARTTLS extension, it has
no effect whatsoever.

The only problematic situation will be if the remote offers STARTTLS and
requires the client to have a certificate.  LibESMTP 0.8.5 will have
certificate handling code implemented.

Regards
Brian
