Here is a patch which uses STARTTLS either if sslproto is not set or
if sslproto is "tls1". Also, if STARTTLS fails when sslproto is not
set, it sets sslproto to "" and repolls.
  
Also, it now does not associate STARTTLS with the auth method.
  
This patch is a replacement for the previous patch(es) on this issue.
This was easier than patching that!
  
Now, to avoid sending STARTTLS, one has to add 'sslproto ""' to the
config file.
