Confusing Example: PHPMAILER:

Opportunistic Encryption - what is it?

Confusing Example: ZOHO Mail

What they mean is STARTTLS however as most people use TLS and SSL the same way I can see how people get confused

Good Example: Python SMTPLIB:

How to use STARTTLS and which methods don’t support is clearly outlined

https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html

Good Example: GMAIL

STARTTLS is clearly Identified.
