--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> --- I'd say JavaMail's defaults are bad and Ant inherits this :-) See https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/219/files Is there any way you'd like to be recognized as contributor for this in Ant's CONTRIBUTORS and contributors.xml files if the PR is merged? Two notes * the change to require STARTTLS is unrelated and not mentioned during your bug report at all. I think it is a sensible change but find it strange to introduce more changes than you describe * if the issue was found by an automated tool I would have expected it to (a) create a proper diff or patch and (b) detect the same issue also exists in JakartaMimeMailer -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
