under a vendor's distribution (usually redhat) where they'd turned
smtp off -- and since you can't tell from the executables what was
configured, and the "servers: ..." line was still in mts.conf (being
ignored), it was frustrating to debug.

(if it _is_ possible to turn off SMTPMTS, there should be a strong
warning to vendors not to do so...)

The 'configure' script forces SMTPMTS to be 1.  There's no command line option 
to turn it off.  But there's nothing to prevent a vendor from editing the 
config.h file and setting it to 0.  After all, they have the source.
