What is STARTTLS command in SMTP?

StartTLS is a protocol command used to inform the email server that the email client wants to upgrade from an insecure connection to a secure one using TLS or SSL. StartTLS is used with SMTP and IMAP, while POP3 uses the slightly different command for encryption, STLS.

Does Gmail need SSL?

Incoming connections to the IMAP server at imap.gmail.com:993 and the POP server at pop.gmail.com:995 require SSL. The outgoing SMTP server, smtp.gmail.com , requires TLS. Use port 465 , or port 587 if your client begins with plain text before issuing the STARTTLS command.

What is the port 53?

The DNS uses TCP Port 53 for zone transfers, for maintaining coherence between the DNS database and the server. The UDP protocol is used when a client sends a query to the DNS server. The TCP protocol should not be used for queries as it gives a lot of information, which is useful to attackers.

Is TLS 1.1 insecure?

The existence of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on the internet acts as a security risk. Clients using these versions are suffering from their shortcomings, while the rest of the internet is vulnerable to various attacks exploiting known vulnerabilities, for almost no practical benefit.

Does Gmail use Starttls?

Gmail has supported STARTTLS for some time, as have some other mail providers, but that standard isn't enough on its own to protect sessions against eavesdropping. So the addition of support for MTA-STS in Gmail is meant to fill in some of the gaps and provide a higher resistance to interception.
