Uh, what? Google follows public mail standards at least as well as their large competitors like YahAOL and Microsoft. You do not have to like MTA-STS, but it's an open IETF standard and there's a lot more providers than Google that use it. >We had this with IE back in the day, now essentially with the chromium engine; Chromium is open source, and there are dozens of browsers built on it. Could you explain what the problem is? R's, John _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
