What I really want is encrypted outgoing mail: the method is not
relevant for me.

Adam> If you want to test TLS, something like this should do it:

Adam>   $ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.welho.com:465

Ok. The response is

CONNECTED(00000003)

Is this good or bad?

I know, but starttls does not work in port 25.
