[Mimedefang] check_against_smtp_server() with STARTTLS and AUTH support

[Franz Schwartau]

Hi Kris!

Hi Dianne, hi list members,
I appreciate md_check_against_smtp_server() supplied by mimedefang.pl
very much. But it lacks two - IMHO - important features: ESMTP AUTH and
STARTTLS.

STARTTLS I can see, but I'm curious why you wanted AUTH at this stage?
Your nexthop inbound mail server shouldn't be asking for AUTH (arguably
shouldn't even offer it on port 25); aside from whatever processing
you're doing in MIMEDefang you should theoretically be able to point
your public MX records directly to this host.

If you don't need ESMTP AUTH it this stage, don't use it... ;-) I do
need it. And I don't think our setup for some customers should be part
of this thread.

The main change I did was to use Net::SMTP for
check_against_smtp_server(). This enables more possibilties in regard to
features. Not all features may make sense in a specific setup.

Best regards
Franz
