what hassle with tls?
install postfix, etc, get certificate signed and enable - ready.
if you're a private mailserver, and know your technology by heart, easy.
If your domain is "aol.com", or anything where 1 hour of downtime generates
more than 1000 angry calls from customers?
If your mailserver is a Sendmail with a heavily customized sendmail.cf?
If your mailserver is interfaced to CC:Mail?
If you require your legal department to sign off on any contracts,
including the one you have to enter into with CACert?
Don't underestimate the work required to upgrade a million mailservers.
(nevertheless, when I get a free 4 hours, I intend to do just what you
suggest for my own Postfix installation, and offer OPTIONAL TLS-protected
SMTP... it will be interesting to see if anyone takes advantage of it...)
