Care to elaborate on this?

The way I understand it, the encrypted connection will only prevent
eavesdroppers from snooping the IP address/host, but the destination
email server will get it in the EHLO/HELO message. IMHO, that equals a
compromise of grand scale.


I'm certainly no expert in these areas, so please enlighten me if I'm
incorrect.
