Yeah, I see why the feature exists, and it's useful -- but I'd still
have preferred a different directive for sender rules instead of

It makes for a trivial MITM attack -- make the client unable to
successfully negotiate SSL, and you're rewarded with a cleartext

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, the server-manager
