Which is better SSL or SMTP for email?

What to do if your mail server does not support SSL?
If your mailserver or smarthost do not support SSL they may support STARTTLS (which is a secure channel negoatiated over and initially unencrypted connection) You can enable this under the settings for the Mail server
