Tim, James,

Did you guys check the percentage of spam VS legitimate mail using TLS?  

I had an issue with ASSP and TLS when I originally launched ASSP about a
month ago, so I deactivated it to investigate the TLS necessity.  I was
quite surprised to find out that about 90% (if not 95%) of the SMTP over TLS
connection to my mail server was used by spammers....

Since then, I disabled TLS and reactivated ASSP.  For me SMTP over TLS is
TOTALLY useless....

I suggested to my users to use something like PGP or the likes if they want
their emails encrypted.

At this time we do not have it working. I will try to post something if 
I do get it working.

Basically we have a home made smtpguard thing (google will bring up a 
couple) that does ssl/tls. The home-made smtpguard takes the originating 
IP and drops it into the header. If I can add a configuration option to 
ASSP so that it takes the IP from the added smtp-header entry, instead 
of from the tcp/ip connection, then I should get it to work.

For it to work for everyone else, I would have to convince the author of 
the smtpguard to release it open-source... Or leave it to you all to 
find a smtpguard version that does ssl/tls.
