Re: Servers that just want to have TLS

This is a bit off the subject but the message spurred the
thought...

For SMTP with TLS, does it make sense to have each peer hash the
contents of what it sends and receives before a secure
connection is established then the peers compare those hashes
after establishment?  (Similar to TLS.)

I am tempted to conclude the value is marginal. Specifically,
it may detect key word tampering but not removal of the TLS
keyword itself.
