Good question; I think you've just added to my "gotta find the answer" list.
It's really frustrating trying to find all the "unregistered" extensions to
the SMTP command list...

So what is the deal?  Let's start from the top... When publishing SMTP
through ISA, and when the SMTP Filter is disabled, SMTP and SMTPS work just
fine.
The STARTTLS SMTP command is not part of the default SMTP commands that the
filter lets through, so you have to add it.  I gave it 100 bytes.

Now, when the filter is active and you got to negotiate a SSL Session, the
server accepts the STARTTLS command, but nothing after that.  It just sits
there.  Nothing in the logs, BTW.
So, the question is, how do I keep the SMTP Filter active and still be able
to submit SMTPS??

I'm glad you like the selective SNAT deal- it is really working out
well.  Maybe I *should* consider writing something!
