Thanks for the suggestion.
Adding TLS support would basically require every user to setup certs
just to get a base qmail system up and running. This would also mean
breaking existing configurations.
May users are using other mechanisms, such as stunnel, to provide SSL
and/or TLS encryption. Just slamming TLS in would likely cause these
systems to break as well, or at a bare minimum, require considerable
planning ahead to move certs around and adjust listening ports.
I appreciate the bug report, but I am going to mark this as wishlist.
Considering the enormous impact this patch would have, I'm hesitant to
just add it to the default package.
One of the things that I have in-place in the build-qmail script is
the ability to add your own patches before building. I would invite
you to add this patch when building qmail on your own systems.
Cheers!
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thanks for maintaining qmail-src package.
However I think many more people would use your great package if it
included the TLS patch which is needed to secure connections with
qmail-smtp. It is very regrettable to see this package not fully
functional in production setups on such an insecure network such as
the internet.
Please let me know if you can handle this shortly, I will be glad to
help.
Regards,
