My one concern is with the recommendation that MSAs by default try the
submit port first and if that fails fall back to port 25. I have no
problem with recommending a submit port configuration - it's the
fallback process that concerns me.
In my ideal world, MUAs would auto-configure using a one-off probe and
fallback process, and remember the results in the same way they currently
do after manual configuration. Any subsequent failure should require
manual intervention from the user (even if it's just to confirm a
re-probe) since it might imply that an attack is in progress.
