Re: Thunderbird 3.1 SSL/TLS Renegotiation

Hi,

Yes this should be handled in Perdition. Just take the example of a port 
scan. Or someone wanting to flood your logs, maybe it will even fill 
your disk space if you are low. True that Thunderbird should behave more 
nice but you can't go around hoping that all software out there will do 
things according to specs.

greetings
