fuck schit, nooo, that can’t be true: Vodafone drops STARTTLS headers from my mailserver. usually it looks like this:

chris@mail:\~$ telnet mail.kluenter.de 25 
Trying 213.128.138.199... 
Connected to mail.kluenter.de. 
Escape character is '^]'. 
220 mail.kluenter.de 
ehlo test 
250-mail.kluenter.de 
250-PIPELINING 
250-SIZE 524288000 
250-VRFY
250-ETRN 
250-STARTTLS 
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 
250-8BITMIME 
250 DSN

but using vodafone 3G, it looks like this:

chris@teZ7i:\~$ telnet mail.kluenter.de 25 
Trying 213.128.138.199... 
Connected to mail.kluenter.de. 
Escape character is '^]'.

My local mailserver refuses to talk to non-SSL Mailservers. If it would behave as any other mailserver, it would just not use SSL because it was not announced. It would have sent login-Data unencrypted !!!1! Fucking shit man. Thats plain fucking mad !!!1!!! I live in Germany. Not China. Will have to use my VPN now. Fuck.

  • Update: Others have the same problem
  • Update2: Vodafone does not spy on the submission-Port. Thats what I am using now. Stupid bastards…
  • Update3: Vodafone fixed the problem.
