Whoops, I guess I owe Bill a bit of an apology -- I was mis-remembering
history here. It's actually your repeated use of tls_on_connect on port
587 that so aggravates me. You're welcome to do whatever you want on
your own server, but please do not advise others to configure
tls_on_connect on port 587 on this list without clearly noting that you
are doing something non-standard and against common practice.
