Care to elaborate on this? The way I understand it, the encrypted connection will only prevent eavesdroppers from snooping the IP address/host, but the destination email server will get it in the EHLO/HELO message. IMHO, that equals a compromise of grand scale. I'm certainly no expert in these areas, so please enlighten me if I'm incorrect. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkisMa0ACgkQp8EswdDmSVjFdgCeJh44mkWoKHWWpPpLKjMmEuqi UMoAn0KrYtHEbglbWdjqn09c64ACsskX =EmYH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
