Sure there is a benefit! Unless you specifically are being targetted with a MITM, your mail will be save and encrypted anywhere between your originating server

Sure there is a benefit! Unless you specifically are being targetted with a MITM, your mail will be save and encrypted anywhere between your originating server and Google's receiving server. No ISP or government router traffic harvesting.
- icebraining 14y agoIf the government wants to harvest your traffic, MITM'ing is not really a great impediment. It might be an impediment for your ISP because of the economic constraint it imposes, but even that is not certain.
- aw3c2 14y agoAs I said, this is no precaution about targetted attacks. It works well against the default packet inspection and probably also storage routers (can) do.
