before they are allowed to route mail via a server. The two following
variables contains the authentication information needed for this.
The second variable, @code{smtpmail-starttls-credentials}, instructs

the protocol exchange may be integrity protected and confidential by
-using TLS, and optionally also authentication of the client. This
-feature uses the elisp package @file{starttls.el} (see it for more
-information on customization), which in turn require that at least one
-of the following external tools are installed:
