Bug#461083: README.Debian misleading regarding TLS connect ports

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.68-2
Severity: wishlist

exim4-base's README.Debian states:

  <para>
     TLS on connect is not natively supported.
  </para>

I found this misleading earlier, as I assumed "natively" meant something
along the lines of "without recompiling Exim". However, you can simply set:

   tls_on_connect_ports = 465

with Etch's Exim for this to work.

I'm pretty sure a lengthy discussion on the usage and merits of the option
isn't necessary, but some reference or pointer to it in this paragraph would
be really useful. :-)
