# TL;DR: E-mail transfer via port 25 is broken and the amendments suggested so far are duct tape. So please do not expect testssl.sh to shut up.
# TL;DR: STARTTLS connections are inherently insecure. A MITM can always intercept the connection, unless the client checks e.g. the
# certificate accordingly. A secure STARTTLS client is the key but we can't test for it. For other than SMTP and SIEVE (there's no implicit TLS port)
# you should use implicit TLS as per RFC 8314. Especially e-mail transfer via port 25 is broken and amendments so far are duct tape.
# Explanation: For other than SMTP you should use TLS as per RFC 8314 . For SMTP however there's this thing named reality: A mail server cannot
# just switch to the mail submission port 587 only and continue to receive mail from everyone. Even if you advertise this via SRV record (RFC 6186).
# For STARTTLS there's no way to tell for testssl.sh whether it is secure. A MitM can always intercept the connection, unless the client checks
# the certificate accordingly (it's getting better but some just don't). TLSA Records/DANE and MTA-STS (RFC-8461) on the server side can help too.
# But as said, it's useless unless the client MTA checks all that which no tool can check.
# Explanation: There are active MitM attacks possible when using STARTTLS like https://github.com/tintinweb/striptls or
# https://github.com/libcrack/starttlsstrip. It depends on the client only whether it can detect such downgrade attack.
# As some SMTP servers are still misconfigured with wrong certificates it's is still common practice for SMTP client MTAs to
# accept those wrong certificates -- delivering e-mails is more important. There is an e-mail submission port 587 but a mail server
# cannot just switch to it and continue to receive mail from everyone. Even if you advertise this via SRV record (RFC 6186).
