Subject: [EXIM] Changes to support Pine 4.00

Pine 4.00 is now released (on ftp.cac.washington.edu) and it appears to be
very nice.

This has two new features that are reliant on mailer features. verbose
smtp and DSN delivery notification. Does anyone think that exim should
support these?

verbose SMTP is enabled by sending VERB or VERB ON to the server when the
connection is initiated and this produces some extra debug output about
whats happening to the message.

I quote from the pine 4.00 source:

/*      NOTE: at worst, this command may cause the SMTP connection to get
 *            nuked.  Modern sendmail's recognize it, and possibly other
 *            SMTP implementations (the "ON" arg is for PMDF).  What's
 *            more, if it works, what's returned (sendmail uses reply code
 *            050, but we'll accept anything less than 100) may not get 
 *            recognized, and if it does the accompanying text will likely
 *            vary from server to server.
