That doesn't change the fact that one is encrypted on the network layer while the other is not. Especially - in contrast to what your statement implied - 587/tcp is not encrypted on the network layer. >> Which makes "the new standard" something very different. > > To my eyes, not that different in the end. Yeah. Your statement that 587/tcp was smtps is simply wrong. I just corrected your wrong statement - nothing more. Why you feel the need to go to a great length to convince someone (whoever that might be) that your wrong statement was somehow right is completely beyond me. -- Regards mks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
