With thanks to Google for pushing the cause, I implemented STARTTLS functionality on my org’s MX (as well as outbound SMTP with opportunistic STARTTLS).
Does anyone have any insight into how long it might take Gmail to acknowledge the STARTTLS availability when composing a new message to a domain at my org, and consequently not show the red unlocked padlock in the compose message UI? I am assuming that for “known” domains Gmail caches results for STARTTLS availability, rather than testing each time a message is composed. The TTL in DNS for the MX record of the domain(s) has long since passed. My own personal testing seems to indicate I didn’t do anything terribly stupid when implementing STARTTLS at the MX.
