still no StartTLS support for Plusnet e-mail

Back in April 09 I asked about the timescale for turning on StartTLS SSL encryption for sending and receiving e-mail.

I see that the situation remains unchanged...

...and that secure e-mail fetching and sending is still not enabled.
Is there still a timescale for turning it on ?

It's not on our immediate roadmap but ip something we'd like to sort out before too long.

Would it not be something useful you could do to reassure customers who have been scared by
the Watchdog program you mentioned in a recent service announcement ?

Hi, could you indicate when it might be added to your roadmap? Neglecting to enable TLS support on a mail relay in 2015 is definitely not good practice.
