Discussed numerous times here.  No one can agree on anything.  One camp says 
"no, that is a security issue" the other camp says "yes, because my customers 
don't care".  If I ever get free time I will code it up with another on disk 
flag like all the MIME stuff.

Add a line like this to esmtproutes:
mrswashington2003.com:mail.mrswashington2003.com/SECURITY=NONE

This says that for mail to mrwashington2003.com go through the host "mail" 
wtih no SSL/TLS.
