They also support SMTP over TLS, which isn't vulnerable. Not sure what you mean about switching, perhaps you're confusing terms? TLS != STARTTLS.

- cm2187 11y agoI was under the impression that STARTTLS was the only implementation of SMTP over TLS. If major providers do not respect the STARTTLS protocol and effectively make encryption mandatory that makes me happy. But as far as I know the standard says STARTTLS is optional.
