Ahemm... That depends largely on the audience you're administering for... I personally have seen that many large (german) (free-)email providers are trying to force SMTP through TLS for sending out email through their servers at the moment, simply because they don't want passwords for logging in to their service transferred as plaintext (and thereby sniffable by the provider/network you're using). It's not so much about the mail (content) itself, it's more about the authentication that's required to relay. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development ------------------------------------- Office Germany - EXPO PARK HANNOVER Beenic Networks GmbH Mailänder Straße 2 30539 Hannover Fon +49 511 / 590 935 - 15 Fax +49 511 / 590 935 - 29 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beenic Networks GmbH ------------------------------------- Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hannover Geschäftsführer: Jorge Delgado Registernummer: HRB 61869 Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hannover _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
