I am not much aware of STARTTLS. I believe that it gives a secure encrypted connection as SSL. I hope it will give a password encryption too. I am more concerned about the security. Please suggest.
STARTTLS has the same security, e.g. password encryption.
Client requests to enable security with a 'STARTTLS' smtp command, after secure connection is established, client sends password.
