    Package: exim4
    Version: 4.34-4
    Severity: normal

    Hi there,

    I just setup exim4 and decided to spend some time getting submission
    working from Outlook 2000. Unfortunately it appears Outlook 2000 does
    not support/understand STARTTLS. It wants SSL to start immediately.

    Fortunately the Exim maintainers knew about this and have included
    specific functionality to support these broken clients. Attached are
    patches to /etc/default/exim4 and /etc/init.d/exim4 which should make it
    simple for site that have these clients to enable this.

    To note is that this support only works if Exim is set to 'separate'
    mode for the listener and queuerunner. Hopefully you can incorporate
    this in future versions you upload.

    Thanks,
    Anand
