STARTTLS support in the James Server
I was reviewing the SMTPServer code in James.
Although James supports TLS Connections,
the SMTPHandler doesn't support the SMTP STARTTLS verb, (as per RFC 2487)
which is what most Email Clients will use for TLS connections.
Is there any reasons behind this?
Cheers
Dave

Harmeet -
From the configuration options it appears Qualcomm Eudora 5.1 ( free in
light / sponsored modes ) will operate STARTTLS. Thus there is reasonably
widespread deployment....

Hey David,
Do you know of some clients that support STARTTLS. I use outlook express and
gnus. I can't configure either to use STARTTLS.
It seems like something worth doing only if it is widely supported. Is there
a particular client you would recommend testing STARTTLS functionality with
?

Dave,
Because it's relatively new and we haven't gotten to it yet. Support
for STARTTLS is not really that widespread yet. You'll note that there
are a number of much older, much more common extensions that are not yet
supported. That's one of my goals for the release after the current one
- expanded and configurable SMTP extension configuration.
