Hello again, g00r00!

Of course I meant "SMTP", not POP3. :o)

I do realize that SMTP on the suggested default port (25) is usually meant for
message transfers between MTAs (and should not require STARTTLS if the server
is publicly referenced, as per RFC 3207 section 4), not message submissions by
MSAs (which often use port 587 and must require authentication as per RFC 6409
section 4.3).

So I guess it depends on the purpose which port should be used, whether
STARTTLS should be required or not, and whether authentication should be
required or not...


Speaking of ACSes and (for real, now!) POP3, I also noticed that the POP3
server appears to let a user list and retrieve messages, respectively, even
though the corresponding List ACS and Read ACS for the email message base are
not fulfilled (which usually restrict this from within the BBS).


Just thought I would mention this in case you think that this access checking
should be added to those two MIS servers.

As usual, thank you for your time and consideration!

Best regards
Bj”rn
