..or maybe two instances on the same IP address, with the authenticating
one on port 587 ("submission", or MSA as the sendmail folks call it).
I find myself in the sticky situation of potentially having three Exim
setups: one on port 25 for regular SMTP; one on 587 for proper SMTP TLS
and AUTH PLAIN (Mozilla and possibly Netscape if I could get it to work
properly); and one on a private port forwarded to from stunnel listening
on 465 (Eudora and Outlook to do SSL and AUTH LOGIN).
I'd write a HOWTO if I could achieve some sort of determinism from my
users' MUAs. If someone has got anywhere with this, I'd like to know :)
