This is why port 587 (instead of 25) is recommended for submission-mode
SMTP (unless you're using software from Redmond).

Right, but this wouldn't work for Outlook Express, because it will only
try 465 after failing on port 25 if it is configured to not use a
specific port. If you configure it for a specific port, it tries that
port, and gives up if it fails. Which means I need to give specific
information for broken old software, which is a PITA. Certainly not
exim's fault though.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
