Sure, you are right about unencrypted messages. But ISP in my work (state-owned school, ISP provided by our government and owned by the Deutsche Telekom) proxies the 25 port, which has a result in removing the the STARTTLS advertising from our mail server and then the STARTTLS fails. If mail provider doesn't provides the 587 port (yes, it seems, that the Deutsche Telekom know nothing about them), or (obsolete) 465 port there isn't another way how to send encrypted emails. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
