In the case of TLS we get a secure session but that could be anyone so we still
need a session password or some mechanism to authenticate so mail from non
password protected sessions is placed in the non secure inbound.

I was wrong when I said the above.

That is true but a proper binkps protocol (if there ever is one) would best be
designed simply to do what we need it to do in an efficient way.
