RE: Reply codes in the smtp-ssl draft

Since the SASL/SMTP-AUTH draft (draft-myers-smtp-auth-05.txt) also deals
with encryption for SMTP, it might be a good idea to coordinate reply
codes with it and come up with a generic "Secure channel required" reply
code.  That draft doesn't yet deal with the issue of what to do in
response to SMTP commands if the server requires security but the client
hasn't initiated it.  I've suggested that something similar to what
you've suggested be included in the draft and that the reply codes be
coordinated with the STARTTLS code.
