It seems like that isn't present yet, the only core TLS support
I can spot is a plugin for accepting TLS-wrapped connections not
initiating them.

I've usually used qpsmtpd to process mail then either:

* Reject it at SMTP time.
* Accept it for delivery and write the mail directly to Maildir folders.
* Accept it for delivery and pass to exim4 for final delivery.

(ie. I've never tried to re-deliver to a remote machine via qpsmtpd,
only via passing to exim4.)

So I haven't been totally wasting my time ( ;) ), since my tmta does
support outbound SSL / TLS connections, and indeed, that was a primary
design goal, since I need to push mail out through Gmail's SMTP
servers, which require SSL / TLS.

Got it. The O'reilly discussion that I saw also mentioned that qpsmtpd
was primarily meant to be used in conjunction with a normal MTA, and
not to replace one.
