Thanks for the information. I was also playing around here. Maybe one
can even use Net::SMTP without depending on Net::SMTP::SSL
or Net::SMTPS like this:

Net::SMTP->new($host, Debug => 1, Port => $port, SSL => 'starttls',
[..] ...)

The difference (here) is, that Net::SMTP seems to work on port 465 only
and Net::SMTPS works on port 587 too (as far as I observed).

My problem is, that I need to pass "SSL_verify_mode => 0" or I get a
server certificate error (I use a self-signed certificate). So for the
moment I have to patch bts locally :(
