In an effort to update older crypto algorithms to stronger ones, the core security team is analyzing diffs in prs to see when such older algorithm references are detected.
The pr: #33187
The file with MD5 references: dev/com.ibm.ws.com.sun.mail.javax.mail/src/com/sun/mail/smtp/SMTPTransport.java
Can such MD5 references be updated to stronger crypto algorithms like SHA256? We want to work with the owner to see if there is a necessity to continue using MD5 or update it.
