I'm developing a Python script to send email messages. Researching SSL/TLS

Since I'm sending messages from the command line (or Python script) out

If you're sending via Postfix, no, you don't need them for SMTP stuff.
Postfix itself can be configured to use SSL/TLS, but that's completely
separate from what you're trying to accomplish.
