Thanks, John! I can tell folks here unequivocally that (1) the recent press article on STARTTLS re-writing did *not* involve Comcast and (2) Comcast does not engage in the claimed practice. In fact, we¹re supporters and early deployers of STARTTLS on our own mail service. I do not know how to explain the issue reported on this list. Absent a packet capture it is impossible for me to analyze this further. If anything, I could only imagine it was a misconfiguration someplace, but I have no idea where or in what network element that¹d even be possible. I¹m happy to work with anyone that has more info to try to troubleshoot this. - Jason Livingood Comcast
