[jira] [Created] (EMAIL-106) STARTTLS is only enabled if an authenticator is used

STARTTLS is only enabled if an authenticator is used
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: EMAIL-106
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-106
             Project: Commons Email
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bruno Harbulot


The STARTTLS parameter is only set if an authenticator is used, whereas the two features are independent: it would also make sense to use STARTTLS without authentication, so as to protect eavesdropping of the e-mail content, for example.

Here is a patch for {{src/java/org/apache/commons/mail/Email.java}} (rev. 1088801):
