hello.

i`ve enabled starttls on all exim ports 25, 465, 587.
everything goes well except recieving emails from mailservers which
doesnt support tls.
i`ve tested email delivery from remote telnet client and i`ve get:

554 SMTP synchronization error
Connection closed by foreign host.

it seems like if remote host doesn`t support tls emails can`t be delivered.
if remote hosts support tls, everything works as expected and emails are
delivered.
user authentication for sending emails works as well.

i am struggling for couple of days with this.
kindly ask you for your help guys.
if you need any exim runtime configuration output, please let me know.

cheers peter.
