I didn't check your code - but your explanation about TLS during the ACL
phase looks promising. For a long time already I'm thinking about the
possibility to have "full tls support" already during the ACL callouts -
if I understood well, only the routing is used but, but then, the smtp
connection is done by some seperate piece of code, not configurable as
all the other transports.

Do you think, that your cuthrough extension can be even more extened to
provide "normal transports" (including all that TLS options) for smtp callouts?
