[Pkg-exim4-users] synchronization error

Hello,

I am having problems with an Outlook Express client connecting to 
exim4. The logs are saying;

2005-08-26 13:56:16 SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error 
(input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from 
H=[213.142.17.163] input="\026\003\001"

(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.)

My googling turned up references to smtp_enforce_sync but I have not 
local config files which set this option. Where should I set this in my 
configuration files?

(Debian sid, monolithinc config, Exim4, ssl)

Thank you,

Jeremiah Foster
