I had understood this to be between my client's computers (client) and my server (server), and, given the nature of the function, I had pretty much assumed that it would only work for authenticated clients. Given the wording, I had not anticipated that TLS would happen between an outside SMTP server and my server for incoming mail destined for my clients. This is where this problem is occurring for in this case: incoming SMTP, not outgoing SMTP for messages from my clients. > I did not know, that you were using the transparent mode. I had to do this because, during testing of TLS with Thomas, I discovered that Do TLS does not work properly with all mail clients. These clients can use TLS by Proxy successfully, but this kills assp's ability to investigate the outgoing mail for whitelisting. So, I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't. I'm beginning to suspect that the only solution to the problem with Do TLS is to have those problem clients switch off SSL while assp does Do TLS, because TLS by Proxy kills much of assp's useful functionality (and that aspect is not very obvious in the GUI's text). If Do TLS worked for all mail clients, I'm not sure why assp needs "TLS by Proxy," since it turns off payload inspection for incoming mail, and, by doing the same for outgoing mail, it prevents assp functions like whitelisting. I'm also not sure why incoming mail is ever allowed to be processed using TLS by Proxy, since Do TLS ensures that incoming payloads are inspected but TLS by Proxy prevents that. For outgoing mail, I feel the same way, since using TLS by Proxy prevents useful features of assp, like whitelisting, from working.
