Agree, but this is only to protect against password snooping, not against content snooping, because: > In SMTP (MTA-MTA) it is not as strongly required, but IMO after > Snowden, using it without TLS must be only rare.

Due to the nature of email (you don't know where it will be stored and who will have access to it) if you want to protect the contents of your email communication, you must use E2E encryption. Just transport-level encryption (TLS) is not enough. If you don't use E2E encryption, you should assume your mail *can* be intercepted, no matter if it is sent over TLS or not... And if mail *is* E2E encrypted, transport level encryption is basically redundant... -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
