I am not sure what ports AOL let out of their system. I am wondering if
it would be possible to put normal authenticated smtp users on port 587,
and OE with the old smtps users on port 465, then start off a second
exim daemon to listen on port 465 with the -tls-on-connect option.

Alternatively we could bind two ip addresses to the same port on the
server, and have one as server-a for normal users and get aol OE users
to user server-b for smtps.

We have a vpn project running which will solve all this, but it won't
finish for a year or so.
