Because I saw support from people like Alessandro Vesely for my proposal. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-smtp/pSb216OGLuTe31yUzAXtqD2haAo Then it hit me. Maybe more people like him interested in SMTPS too. So I have done some research and posted this comment. https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-smtp/apZ8nBnGpv1aXlFUtbcTjGipA8Q When I open this thread, I just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page. I think I even mentioned what IETF thinks when I created this thread. And asked "I would love to know where you stand on this proposal." So I opened this thread, just to collect some feedback.

Hello NANOG, Belated new year wishes.
I would like to gather some feedback from you all.
I'm trying to propose two things to the Internet Standard and it's related to SMTP.
Your post to this list was (according to the headers): 11 Jan 2019 23:08:21 +0530
Yet on the IETF-smtp mailing list at: Wed, 9 Jan 2019 12:29:43 +0530
*You* wrote (in part): I'm the guy who proposed SMTP Over TLS on Port 26. Looks like that was dead end. So, now coming with another proposal.
Question: Why did you post something on NANOG that you already declared to the IETF yourself as a "dead end" 2 days earlier? I read all of the IETF emails on this idea. They explained why it is currently a no-starter as proposed.
