Greetings All,

I am attempting to verify SMTP encryption by using tcpdump on an SMTP server. I am currently working on the "before" part of the before and after comparison. I have run tcpdump and collected packets while email is being sent. When I examine it with ethereal, the SMTP conversation is recorded and looks OK, the only problem is the message body is blank. I.E., I can't see the message body in clear text nor cipher text.

Is this a filter built into ethereal or tcpdump as a privacy issue?

Admitted newbie to ethereal. If the answer here is RTFM, I will gladly do so, please point me to the correct manual.

TIA,

Grant
