I don't think the use of a single port is really at the heart of the problem. Even if SMTP with TLS ran over port 26 (say), you wouldn't know if a timeout on port 26 meant the server wasn't listening on port 26 or a MITM had just chosen to drop your packets. Discovering if someone supports Protocol++ if the fallback to Protocol is insecure is a hard problem. |
