Package: starttls
Version: 0.10-3
Severity: normal

Looking through the source for starttls, i see that --verify sets the
int "opt_verify", but nothing else appears to use that variable.  Am i
misunderstanding something?

If the goal is to make the starttls verify the remote host (which
would be a good thing security-wise), it doesn't look like it does
that.  Also, if --verify is going to be made to work, a --cafile or
--cadir option should also be provided, so that the user can indicate
which certificate authorities should be trusted.

Thanks for maintaining starttls in debian!
