New features

  • Implicit TLS (SMTPS) on port 465. With --tls-mode tls, Mail2Go now dials
    port 465 using implicit TLS instead of negotiating STARTTLS on a plaintext
    connection. Port 465 expects TLS from the first byte, so this previously
    failed against implicit-TLS-only servers. Other ports (587, 25, …) are
    unchanged and continue to use STARTTLS.
  • --tls-mode tls-skip honours implicit TLS on 465 as well, so servers on
    465 presenting self-signed or otherwise unverifiable certificates now work.
    Certificate verification remains fully enforced under --tls-mode tls.

Note

The port now determines how TLS is established: 465 uses implicit TLS (SMTPS),
every other port uses STARTTLS. --tls-mode none is unaffected. No working
configuration changes behavior — port 465 with tls or tls-skip simply failed
before.
