Roundup, smtplib, TLS and MS Exchange

Hi,

I'm using the roundup issue tracker (http://roundup.sourceforge.net)
which uses smtplib to send mail. It all worked until we moved to a
hosted Exchange MTA. The hosting provider requires the use of TLS. Now
roundup can't send mail.

My version of python is:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb  6 2006, 10:38:46)
[GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)] on linux2

Roundup version:
$ roundup-server --version
1.1.2 (python 2.3.4)

I've reproduced the SMTP conversation below. I'm not sure if it's a
problem with Roundup, smtplib, or Exchange.

Any assistance appreciated.

[foobar at moe tracker]$ roundup-server -p 8081
