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. -- Cheers, Thomas.
