I don't think it's anything to do with port 465. I think it's due to the
client maybe giving a ehlo/helo, maybe not and not waiting for a 250;
just banging the helo together with mail from:, without even a carriage
return/newline.
Maybe the person sending it should apply the patch that I keep on
getting from friendly people all over the world, sometimes 4 from the
same person. Up to now, getting on for 4.000 friendly people have sent
me that patch. Unfortunately I don't run Outlook, so I can't apply it ;)
