While spamdyke can do both TLS and authentication, I don't see an option 
for requiring TLS when authenticating. I see smtp-auth-level settings of 
  ondemand-encrypted and always-encrypted, but these -encrypted settings 
appear to refer to cram-md5, and they effect offering the protocol, not 
enforcing it. Also, my understanding is that cram-md5 is somewhat 
"old-style", and less secure than TLS/SSL.

It would be nice to be able to enforce from the server a policy of 
requiring TLS to be used with authentication, so that clients don't 
inadvertently send passwords in the clear. IOW, a setting that would 
check to be sure TLS was activated before processing any authentication 
command (possibly with the exception of cram-md5). It'd be great if this 
could work regardless of whether qmail or spamdyke is handling the 
encryption and/or authentication.

Thanks Sam for all your great work on spamdyke.
