Hi All,

when attempting to enforce TLS with a remote server i saw it failing.
The reason turned out to be with the remote server-banner consisting
of '*'-characters only. The local postfix-smtp in this case insisted
to send "HELO".
I'ld like to understand if i can override/force postfix-smtp to send
"EHLO" in all cases instead (... postfix configured with
"smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes" ...) or in which RFC i could find more
information about the expectation on the server-banner.

Brief tests with local postfix client <= 3.1.0:
remote banner= "220 *" - HELO sent
remote banner= "220 a" - EHLO sent
remote banner= "220 0" - HELO sent
(--> remote banner must start with alpha?)

Thanks for any hint,
Regards,

Thomas
