Q: Postfix 2.1.5 Thunderbird 1.5 and STARTTLS

From: Alexander Schäfer (alexschaeferhome.de)

Hello postfix-users,

i expirience the problem connecting with Thunderbird 1.5 MUA, which is
configured to use TLS for SMTP encryptio, to my postfix MTA (Postfix
version 2.1.5, which is standard in Debian 3.1 distribution).
The problem is, that the mail-client can't send the e-mail to postfix,
saying: The connection to the SMTP-server cannot be established per
STARTTLS because the server doesn't support STARTTLS in EHLO...

Checking manualy the postfix's EHLO output i see ... 250-STARTTLS... So
the Thunderbird seems to misunderstand it. Is it known issue? Can
anybody suggest me a workaround

Thanks
Alex
