    Well, we're getting closer!!

    The problem is reproduceable.

    Install exim-ldap2-4.30_2 on freebsd 5.2.1

    This will obviously install openldap-client-2.1.28_1 if your ports are
    up to date!

    Then start exim and try a telnet on port 25..

    I noticed some interesting commits on the openldap21-server however
    potentially someone more knowledgeable may have some thoughts on this
    matter!

    Regards,

    ajt.
