-TL;DR: E-mail transfer via port 25 is broken and the amendments suggested so far are duct tape. So please do not expect testssl.sh to shut up.

-Explanation: For other than SMTP you should use TLS as per RFC 8314. For SMTP however there's this thing named reality: A mail server cannot
-just switch to the mail submission port 587 only and continue to receive mail from everyone. Even if you advertise this via SRV record (RFC 6186).
-For STARTTLS there's no way to tell for testssl.sh whether it is secure. A MitM can always intercept the connection, unless the client checks
-the certificate accordingly (it's getting better but some just don't). TLSA Records/DANE and MTA-STS (RFC-8461) on the server side can help too.
-But as said, it's useless unless the client MTA checks all that which no tool can check.
