I just found out that Outlook 97 (version 8.04.5619) does not
interoperate with Exim's TLS/SSL. The problem appears to be that
Outlook 97 does not support the STARTTLS ESMTP option. So if you turn
on SSL connections for SMTP servers in Outlook 97, it immediately
tries to initiate a SSL connection.

While the real solution is to upgrade to Outlook 2000 or turn off SSL
in Outlook 97, is there any way to get Exim to support this
configuration?
