I tried some more things, such as setting starttls=NULL or ssl=NULL, which does
the same as setting it to „no“. Interestingly, if I set ssl=NULL and don’t set
starttls at all, it still tries an SSL connection to the backend.
Is there no way to use starttls or ssl depending on a variable? It could also
be possible that I have starttls-backends and ssl-backends which would be a
similar use-case to my sieve-thing, I think.
Cheers,
