In my understanding, you only have to worry about SSL if the server that you are using to send an email requires SSL. You don't have to worry about what the target server uses.

I think if you need more control over what SMTP to use to send an email, you can use the sendmail utility.
yes.. i want to specify an smtp to use.
ok. it means i have to use sendmail. thanks.
