I am having problems with an Outlook Express client connecting to

(When I got this message previously I switched Outlook Express to
Thunderbird and the issue went away. I assume that is because both
Thunderbird and exim implement the protocol more effectively than
Outlook Express. If I assume incorrectly I would welcome
correction.)
The problem could be outlook's broken TLS implementation. Outlook is
probably trying to do TLS-on-connect on port 25. Configure Outlook
for SSL on port 465, and add the following to your exim config:
daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465
tls_on_connect_ports = 465
You may also want to add 587 to the port list, which is the standard
submission port -- note that it should _not_ be in the
tls_on_connect_ports list, only 465 belongs there.
Thanks Marc. I have set both the server and the client to listen on
port 587. This functions for other clients, but not for this one
particular Outlook Express client.
Should I configure my debian exim configuration (/etc/default/exim4)
and add those above lines? Unfortunately I still have some confusion
regarding configuring exim.
Thanks again,
Jeremiah
