As an interesting aside, I noticed when configuring Exim to
authenticate to my back-end POP servers that TLS seems to be a
requirement for authenticating as a client. It's been a while since I
did it, but I remember authentication wouldn't work until I enabled
SSL/TLS on the back-end servers. Is this observation correct?

Tony, love your domain name.
