Even better than what I suggested, doing a lot more with the
same identity mechanism.  I think it often is the case that
"when I work on this project, I send e-mail as this user to talk
with that server to send e-mail, and that server happens to talk
smtps so use that", and a single "identity" setting is a good
way to capture that.  Very nice.
