Contrasting this with STARTTLS might also be instructive, though of
course there are big differences. But last I checked (a while ago) a
substantial amount of SMTP traffic was encrypted based on self-signed
certificates because it was made pretty easy-to-do, though that was
more likely to be used between servers than from an end user.
