I would agree on the TLS front; however I like to use encryption for 
everything.

I advertise TLS for all incoming mail which means that all incoming mail 
from BT and many other companies is encrypted as well as all the 
companies mail servers I have set up.

TLS has the advantage as it requires less effort from the users :-)
