Bug#422419: exim4: tls_verify_hosts only applies during TLS sessions

[Oskar Liljeblad]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.63-17
Severity: minor

It should be clarified in the documentation that tls_verify_hosts only
applies to TLS sessions. That is, if a sending host matched in
tls_verify_hosts does not attempt to use TLS, it can still send messages
unencrypted.

This makes tls_verify_hosts pretty useless, but that's just my humble
opinion...
