Any sites that want to support secure message submission for versions of
Outlook older than the 2007 have to support smtps. Older Outlook will only
do SMTP+STARTTLS on port 25, and will only do smtps on other ports.
Outlook Express / Windows Live Mail / etc. has the same problem though I
don't know which version fixed it.
