STARTTLS The STARTTLS command is used to start a TLS handshake for a secure SMTP session. STARTTLS resets the SMTP protocol to the initial state. Once the response 220 is received from the server, the SMTP client should send HELO or EHLO to launch the session. In the case of a negative response (454), the client must decide whether to continue the SMTP session or not. Reference: https://mailtrap.io/blog/smtp-commands-and-responses/
