As for smptd encoding error I think a reasonable thing to do would be to reply with "501 Can't decode command.". There's no way for the server to return a more specific error message (e.g. "SSL is not supported"). ...And just for clarity/completeness, smtpd module cannot support SSL because asyncore doesn't.
