Florian,

Thank you for your email. Snort actually does whitelist the SMTP traffic.
Code that does that is in SnortSMTP (dir == SMTP_PKT_FROM_CLIENT)
line:2370. Snort only parses the Client and server certificates (Not the
complete handshake)

       if ((smtp_ssn->state == STATE_TLS_DATA)
                || (smtp_ssn->state == STATE_TLS_SERVER_PEND))
        {
            /* if we're ignoring tls data, set a zero length alt buffer */
            if (smtp_eval_config->ignore_tls_data)
            {
                _dpd.SetAltDecode(0);
                _dpd.streamAPI->stop_inspection( p->stream_session_ptr, p,
SSN_DIR_BOTH, -1, 0 );
                return;
            }
        }

Hm.  Does not work for me with 2.9.5.3.

Can you check if this url is correct? It keeps returning a HTML page...

I would like to take a look at the dump because there are instancens  
in which snort fails to (correctly) detect the STARTTLS command (a  
separate message about this will be send to bugs+snort-devel).
This may be one of them but I can't tell without the dump..


Best regards,

Bram
