I'd like to suggest that Exim is broken in this regard. On a regular
(non-TLS) conection, Exim can be configured to respond with an error:
4xx: AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED
or whatever the exact text/error is. There's just no way to force this
when using it over a TLS connection. Can it be put on the wishlist?
Thanks,
Christopher
