The more subtle thing is apparently you can do something like:

Yes that's an undocumented side-effect of the current code. I don't think
you need to worry especially about preserving it. ...unless someone is
either actually using it or thinks it'd be really useful?

and that will try both of those servers in succession.  Since we need
to know the connecting hostname for both the the SSL certificate code
and the SASL code, this suggests to me that the right solution is:

- Move the MTS "servers" fallback code from client() into rclient()
  (since that's really just for SMTP).

That'd also involve moving your new code into rclient(), right?

Thoughts?

Sounds reasonable to me but I'm probably not the best person to comment.
Thanks for looking into this.
