The Bat! is an email client that is used by many professionals. The
balance would be there if you allowed these people to accept a
certificate that has expired, they know what they are doing. Hide it
under Advanced Options if you are afraid my mother would use it.
The current behaviour does not feel safe, it feels like nannying and
is certainly not appreciated by the professionals. Especially since
they can easily switch to another product and become your ex-customers
and ex-promoters.
Being pedantic has its advantages, and TB! is certainly a good
product. However, you have to be a bit realistic about what is out
there. This customer, for example, could not connect by normal port at
all, due to his company's security policy. He is clearly someone who
knows what he is talking about. Even if he wanted to, he cannot use
(or promote!) The Bat!.
Recommending a third software (stunnel) is certainly not the idea -
you are providing a work-around for your own restriction. What is the
point of the restriction then? I would also think it is certainly much
easier to just use another email-client with which you don't need to
tunnel.
Just my 2 satangs worth.
