I've been using STARTLS on SMTP for almost 20 years ... That's great -- I have too -- but I have some bad news for you: not everybody else has been! (I know, right!?) The EFF is simply trying to bang the drums to get everyone's attention and then convince those that aren't already using STARTTLS (everywhere, hence the name) to consider doing so. The good news, for you, is that you're already done. There's nothing for you to do, unless you want to add your domains to the "policy list" so that others who are participating won't send mail to you unless encryption is in use. Fortunately, the EFF has already written about this extensively [0], so there's no need for me to rehash all the details (coincidentally, that same exact web page is also reachable by clicking on the first link in this article).

    It seems to be dead. I submitted my domain and it’s not on the list, and there has been no communication about why or why not (given that it passes their security checker and requirements).
