Hi All,

As you can see below now I have more then 130 entries for domains with broken STARTTLS in my esmtproutes file:

root@hermes1:~# grep SECURITY=NONE /etc/courier/esmtproutes |wc -l 133

Daily (half-automated) grepping maillog and sending messages to postmasters of broken domains is boring and probably never ending story.

I know that domains always will be exist, but now I'm thinking about how to decrease number of them.

Maybe we should found the special website, something like www.rfc-ignorant.org, to reporting domains with broken STARTTLS?

Branding broken domains is not only one solution, of course. It also can include good STARTTLS HOWTOs for all modern and popular MTAs, for example Courier, Exim, Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail, etc.

What's your opinion about it?

Well, if you want to do it, go right ahead. I don't see anything wrong, conceptually with it, except that I would go even further, and expand the scope to include other kinds of breakages -- broken DNS settings, etc…

and much much more besides.

I'm with you.
