This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

    MITM attack’s success rate just went to 100%

    No, it didn’t. It’s stupid and shouldn’t be done, but all ham nowadays is encrypted.

    I know that because I’ve been running my email server for some years now, technically breaking one of the RFCs for not allowing unencrypted connections. Zero email has been missed.
