Just curious, why is this second best? With exim 4 you can also
restrict AUTH to TLS-enabled connections.

Not a necessary requirement. Both putty and teraterm (windows ssh
clients) can be set up with "profiles" so that the user merely needs
to click a shortcut on their desktop. The rest is "magic" and Just
Works. (once the MUA is set to use 'localhost' as the server)

This is a pretty decent solution, IMO, if the users have shell
accounts.

It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
