Actually not. Any modern postmaster will give you either 'Y' or 'N'
back for an SSL request, whether it's compiled with SSL support or not.
An 'E' response is only possible from postmasters that predate the
introduction of SSL support ... and so it'll be V2 format for sure.
(I'm not sure that you really care what follows 'E' in this case,
anyway. You can just drop the connection and try again without SSL.)
