I am curious if this applies even on provately-operated servers; eg, if you aren't cheap and instead of an account you buy a colocation server, with your own mailserver, when the ISP provides only the connection itself, without additional services.
Transparent outgoing HTTP proxying has been deployed for years now. Not too difficult for the ISP to also "provide" transparent outgoing SMTP proxying. So, even with your own colo mail relay, you'd still want SMTP-over-SSL whenever possible, between your desktop(s) and your relay, and between your relay and elsewhere. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@netmemetic.com> http://firewall.rulemaker.net -+- Manage Your Firewall Rulebase Changes http://www.post1.com/home/ngps -+- Open Source Python Crypto & SSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@wasabisystems.com
