Probably the only safe solution. I don't see Apple or anyone else  
fixing their RFC 5322 implementations.

Thanks for explaining how Exchange does it. Apologies for not figuring  
enough out about Wireshark and SSL before so I could have helped.  
Given your information on it, I think I can work around the problem  
with LDAP and postfix to provide distribution lists that work in IMP  
and with ActiveSync.

Many thanks,

Tim
