Google (gmail) I suspect does not allow talking on :25 without encryption, or the email can be easily read on transit. No, Google does not require TLS.
Actually, it does. I just tried setting my smtp server to port 25 & no security. I got this error message: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. i26-v6sm9327158ioj.33 - gsmtp. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. So, it would appear STARTTLS is mandatory, so that encryption can be used. I also seem to recall Google saying SSL/TLS would be required to connect to their servers. They are heavily promoting encryption in general, even preferring https sites to http in web searches. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
