   Hello mark,

   In the case of TLS we get a secure session but that could be anyone so we   
   still need a session password or some mechanism to authenticate so mail from   
   non password protected sessions is placed in the non secure inbound.   
      
   I was wrong when I said the above.   
      
    ml> with the speed of today's systems, the additional processing and/or

   That is true but a proper binkps protocol (if there ever is one) would best be   
   designed simply to do what we need it to do in an efficient way.
