Indeed most such configurations are likely to have similarly mundane
explanations. I used Paul's message as an excuse for a marketing
message, but forgot to voice my skepticism as to whether this is
an actual attack at work.
I am far more curious about what happened to Google's outbound
TLS mail stats around Oct 14th:

but this seems likely to remain a mystery. Perhaps some large peer
botched their TLS settings?
