Looks good! We'll await the patch then, though no need to read up on yacc/lex I can fix that. (See if you can use monits base64 encoding, though yours did look better, or fix monits base64 implementation :)

It's important to distinguish SSL and TLS. With SSL you use port 465
and start ssl before any data is transmitted. With TLS you use the
default SMTP-port 25 and initiate SSL later as shown above.

The monit socket sets SSL_VERSION_AUTO so SSL version or TLS should be transparent and automatically setup by OpenSSL during the handshake. So no need to distinguish between ssl|tls, at least that is the theory.
