Since the name "TLSMTA" is non-standard (not to mention WRONG for
port 465, because it's not TLS). I wouldn't add this to the default
distribution.

But sure, go ahead and change it in your local version.

I don't really understand all the fuss about applying micropatches to
the examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients file. As the
name implies, it's an EXAMPLE and a SUGGESTION.

We looked at it, took some parts we liked, then rewritten things from
scratch.

Now, whenever there's a new release, I skim through the release notes
looking for new or changed features available from the perl interface,
and possibly modify our interface to follow suit. I don't even bother
to diff the example file to the previous release anymore...
