Is anyone using hobbit to monitor smtps (secure smtp) ?
I am unable to get hobbit to use STARTTLS as I get this error message:
The SMTP STARTTLS is not supported in Hobbit.
For availability, you should be able to just use plain "smtp" - since you will be talking plain SMTP until the client (i.e. Hobbit) issues the "STARTTLS" command. So you can test this type of server as if it were un-encrypted.
It would be nice to support STARTTLS - not only for SMTP, but also for some of the other protocols (POP3, IMAP come to mind). That would require some major surgery on the network testing code, though.
