The info in /usr/share/docs/exim/ does talk about it, but not much.
This would work, but it would allow somone to use the regular clear-text smpt port to authenticate with exim. So if someone does not know to use the s-smtp port 465 then people could sniff valid logins to MY box. I can't shutdown port 25, because then I would not be able to get incomming email. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
