I would like to see some facts to support the assertion that the "idea that SSL/TLS and
port 587 are somehow able to prevent warrantless wiretapping" is "often expressed".
A Google search for
ssl "port 587" warrantless wiretapping
got exactly one hit, which was your posting to the mailing list where it had been archived
on security-basic.blogspot.com and snarfed up by Google within the hour.

remarkable update to their search engine).
