e.g. 220 mail.ashleymadison.com <http://mail.ashleymadison.com> AshleyMadison ESMTP Service Ready Those text will always be transferred in plain text. So I thought Implicit TLS would prevent leaking that info.
I'm not really sure how that really matters when anyone on the open internet could connect to that service port and get the information anyway. If I'm in the middle and I really want to know who you're talking to, what prevents me to just connect to that host and get the same information? -- inoc.net!rblayzor XMPP: rblayzor.AT.inoc.net PGP: https://inoc.net/~rblayzor/
