It defaulted to SSL_VERIFY_NONE before Net::SMTP::SSL was updated, and
the behavior hasn't changed now.  The new version simply asks us to be
explicit about SSL_VERIFY_NONE, so we are aware about it.

Nothing scary about it: it eats up real estate, and that is annoying.
I personally couldn't care less about ca_file, since all my emails are
to public mailing lists anyway.  Work on specifying a proper ca_file
as a follow-up, if you so desire.
