The smtp3.monitor (available in the latest pre-1.0.0 release from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/devel/) has an option to verify
that TLS is offered by the target smtp server(s). This monitor also
excercises the smtp server a bit more than smtp.monitor by getting to the
point in the protocol where the server is ready to accept mail which is
important if you are running Sendmail with a required milter. Note that this
conversation is not carried out via TLS.

It is easy to talk SSL/TLS to a Web server using pure Perl (see
http_tppnp.monitor, for example) but it is probably a lot more difficult to
communicate via TLS to an smtp server.
