HI! To me this rationale for SMTP submission with implicit TLS seems also applicable to LDAPS vs. StartTLS:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8314#appendix-A So LDAPS should not be considered deprecated. Rather it should be recommended and the _optional_ use of StartTLS should be strongly discouraged. Ciao, Michael.
