why does anybody need socks for encryption and how does that change the way messages are stored? postfix supports TLS as well as mail clients does for many years what i find remarkable is that 2013 changed anything because the problems existed long before, as well as long before people used TLS for send and receive e-mail the only thing which has 2013 changed is that people talking about encryption and security are no longer called paranoid idiots as it happend before the NSA leaks
