Hi,

since there is currently a lot work done with respect to tls
information, I'd like to bring the following into discussion again.

What do you think about it?

(Viktors opinion was, that we shouldn't leave the decision about
aborting/continuing of the TLS session to the user, but I think, giving
providing this option is more in the spirit of exim.)

What about an smtp transport option *about* like this

    tls_continue = …        


+------------+---------+--------------+-------------+
|tls_continue|Use: smtp|Type: boolean*|Default: true|
+------------+---------+--------------+-------------+

This option gets expanded right after the basic negotiation, before
starting the "real session".

    <- 250 ESMTP
    -> EHLO …
    <- …
    -> STARTTLS
    <- 220 TLS 
     …
    [ condition = false ]   [ condition = true ]
    ~> QUIT                 ~> MAIL FROM: …


This option could be used to do useful things with the certificate
information we have (e.g. match the $hostname with the DN)
