'whenever possible' only works for servers that are on the standard port
that support the STARTTLS extension. ie, it only attempts 1 connection.
'always' will attempt up to 2 connections to find a port with SSL
support, either via the high ssl port (ie, server is running under
sslwrap) or STARTTLS.
