        will be either an empty tuple, or a single-value tuple with the name
        of a keyfile, or a 2-value tuple with the names of the keyfile and
        certificate file. (This tuple is passed to the
        `ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain` method).
        A timeout in seconds can be specified for the SMTP connection (the
        default is one second).
