Re: How to disable telnet to port 25

"Robert A. Hayden" says:

I've been meaning to ask about for some time and I never really got around to it; Are there any short-term plans to press for an RFC utilizing digital signatures?

There is already an RFC on this (and indeed has been for some years); its called "PEM", or Privacy Enhanced Mail. Thus far it's been a complete flop. Its thought that certain modifications being proposed right now (MIME integration, "mail style" names instead of X.500 distinguished names, and the ability to use non-hierarchical signature certificates) may change that.
