Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.68-2
Severity: wishlist
exim4-base's README.Debian states:
<para>
TLS on connect is not natively supported.
</para>
I found this misleading earlier, as I assumed "natively" meant something
along the lines of "without recompiling Exim". However, you can simply set:
tls_on_connect_ports = 465
with Etch's Exim for this to work.
I'm pretty sure a lengthy discussion on the usage and merits of the option
isn't necessary, but some reference or pointer to it in this paragraph would
be really useful. :-)

tls_on_connect_ports is nicely documented in the following paragraph
called "Enabling TLS support for Exim as server".
I do not see a flaw in the documentation here. Closing the bug.
