      REPLY: 2:5030/1997@fidonet 5df82b49       MSGID: 1:153/757 5df8bb24       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: -0800       TID: hpt/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2019-12-05       Hello Alexey,               AF> It's not about believing.              I'm not going anywhere until I believe, in something. I don't mind having my       beliefs proven to be worthless, in fact I appreciate it if they are in fact       worthless.               AI>> That's why STARTTLS has been depricated.               AF> It's not deprecated globally. Deprecation is only _proposed_ for SMTP        AF> and other mail protocols and there are reasons for that, but that        AF> doesn't mean it is deprecated for everything else.              I have only ever used STARTTLS with smtp. If STARTTLS is proposed to be       depricated for smtp I propose we depricate it here too.               AF> Synhcronet is not the only software out there.              No it isn't. It does have a simple to use binkps implementation that other       software could use in a similar way.               AF> With STARTTLS none of this is a problem. Additional configuration flag        AF> to require TLS connection is easy to implement, nodelist flag is        AF> optional and may be used to tell client to require TLS when connecting        AF> to supporting node, and additional DNS SRV records are not needed as        AF> well.              I don't think STARTTLS is going to fly. I really have no strong feelings for or        against STARTTLS, I just don't think that is what anyone wants today.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/101 200 354 426 1014 240/5832 249/307 317 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5555 292/854 310/31 317/3 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/0 1 100 340 772/0 1 210 500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
