I'll admit that I'm something of a clueless idiot when it comes to something like STARTTLS, but looking at the stuff on sendmails page about it, I don't really see a listing of clients that it can work with. One advantage of the SASL stuff is that a fair number of clients seem to support the thing, including several for windows (yeah, I know, the evil term, but some of us actually have people that use windows clients to do their mail). Now, maybe I just don't know what magic STARTTLS offers me, and I'd convert if I knew better.
