right. reporting the error precisely is hard. but given that we're
changing the default client behavior, adding a hint to the message

The diagnostics suck and need to be fixed. In their defence, the ':587' on the
end of the address is a hint.
Meanwhile, I am hacking TLS support into inc's POP code, and it's quickly
becoming apparent the assorted bits of network-related code need to be
consolidated. This gives a good opportunity to clean up the server-contact
configs, auth/security info, etc. Given the IETF's recent enlightenment over
security, this is a great chance to overhaul the code and actually leap *ahead*
of the world on something :-)
