Very unlikely. If the TLS handshake fails, a server usually drops
the session because it is in an unknown state.
What several clients can do is to try a new session without STARTTLS,
e.g.,
TLSFallbacktoClear
If set, sendmail immediately tries an out-
bound connection again without STARTTLS af-
ter a TLS handshake failure.
