Hello mark,

 ml> binkd and others already have completely encrypted session
 ml> capabilities... even binkit has it ;)

They do, and both mailers work very well with that encryption. Do mailers that
support CRYPT need to negotiate a session and exchange passwords before the
session can be encrypted?

Mystic has the ability to encrypt binkp sessions also (it uses cryptlib)
although it hasn't fully matured and needs work.

I was thinking about this and the posibility of a standard so different mailers
could use secure binkp. Alexey said something about secure binkp that made me
curious.

Would binkp over TLS (or really, any secure method) be a good thing?

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
