When I tried starttls(), the next step server.sendmail(frm, to, msg)
got problem:
> send: 'STARTTLS\r\n'
> reply: '220 OpenSSL/0.9.5beta go ahead\r\n'

Any suggestions? Do I need first verify some certificates?
Kmail does ask me whether I want to accept some unverified
certificates or not. But how should I do it in python?
Thanks again.
