I know, let's all advocate overriding sane client defaults in everything
we reply to. I mean, that wouldn't be confusing for new posters or people
asking questions, would it?
Given that most MUA's default to port 25 for submitting
outbound traffic, that 'sane client default' perhaps should be
overriden to use a submission port.
Check the long history behind 587, including
draft-hutzler-spamops-00.
The principle fly in the EHLO / STARTTLS ointment is the large
number of clients that may silently 'fall back' to un-encrypted,
mode - or even stroll over to port 25.
D'you suppose the mandated EHLO messages are visible in the MUA?
Let alone understandable to the average user??
