After a TLS connection has been established over top of an existing protocol's TCP connection, as could be done using draft-hoffman-smtp-ssl-02, is the meaning of the "close_notify" alert in TLS that the sender will revert back to using the protocol (such as SMTP) in the state from before TLS was established? E.g. with SMTP S: <waits for connection on TCP port 25> C: <opens connection> S: 220 mail.imc.org SMTP service ready | plain text C: EHLO mail.ietf.org S: 250-mail.imc.org is ever so glad you called S: 250 TLS TLS1.0 SSL3.0 C: STARTTLS TLS1.0 S: 220 Go ahead with TLS1.0 C & S: <start TLS session> C & S: <check result of negotiation> ] inside TLS C: MAIL FROM: nobody ] S: 550 Submission from nobody not permitted ] C: <TLS close notify> ] C: MAIL FROM: nobody | plain text again S: 250 OK Thanks in advance, Mark Wahl, Enterprise Directory Integration Critical Angle Inc.
