+REQUIRETLS support
+------------------
+Ref: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-uta-smtp-require-tls-03
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_REQUIRETLS support is included for this
+feature, where a REQUIRETLS option is added to the MAIL command.
+The client may not retry in clear if the MAIL+REQUIRETLS fails (or was never
+offered), and the server accepts an obligation that any onward transmission
+by SMTP of the messages accepted will also use REQUIRETLS - or generate a
+fail DSN.
+
+The Exim implementation includes
+- a main-part option tls_advertise_requiretls; host list, default "*"
+- an observability variable $requiretls returning yes/no
+- an ACL "control = requiretls" modifier for setting the requirement
+- Log lines and Received: headers capitalise the S in the protocol
+ element: "P=esmtpS"
+
+Differences from spec:
+- we support upgrading the requirement for REQUIRETLS, including adding
+ it from cold, within an MTA. The spec only define the sourcing MUA
+ as being able to source the requirement, and makes no mention of upgrade.
+- No support is coded for the RequireTLS header (which can be used
+ to annul DANE and/or STS policiy). [this can _almost_ be done in
+ transport option expansions, but not quite: it requires tha DANE-present
+ but STARTTLS-failing targets fallback to cleartext, which current DANE
+ coding specifically blocks]
+
+Note that REQUIRETLS is only advertised once a TLS connection is achieved
+(in contrast to STARTTLS). If you want to check the advertising, do something
+like "swaks -s 127.0.0.1 -tls -q HELO".
+
+
+
+
+Early pipelining support
+------------------------
+Ref: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-harris-early-pipe/
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT support is included for this feature.
+The server advertises the feature in its EHLO response, currently using the name
+"X_PIPE_CONNECT" (this will change, some time in the future).
+A client may cache this information, along with the rest of the EHLO response,
+and use it for later connections. Those later ones can send esmtp commands before
+a banner is received.
+
+Up to 1.5 roundtrip times can be taken out of cleartext connections, 2.5 on
+STARTTLS connections.
+
+In combination with the traditional PIPELINING feature the following example
+sequences are possible (among others):
+
+(client) (server)
+
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+message-data ->
+------
+
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,BDAT ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack
+message-data ->
+------
+
+EHLO,STARTTLS ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,TLS-goahead
+TLS1.2-client-hello ->
+ <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
+client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
+ <- change-cipher,finished
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+
+------
+(tls-on-connect)
+TLS1.2-client-hello ->
+ <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
+client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
+ <- change-cipher,finshed
+ <- banner
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+
+Where the initial client packet is SMTP, it can combine with the TCP Fast Open
+feature and be sent in the TCP SYN.
+
+
+A main-section option "pipelining_connect_advertise_hosts" (default: *)
+and an smtp transport option "hosts_pipe_connect" (default: unset)
+control the feature.
+
+If the "pipelining" log_selector is enabled, the "L" field in server <=
+log lines has a period appended if the feature was advertised but not used;
+or has an asterisk appended if the feature was used. In client => lines
+the "L" field has an asterisk appended if the feature was used.
+
+The "retry_data_expire" option controls cache invalidation.
+Entries are also rewritten (or cleared) if the adverised features
+change.
+
+
+NOTE: since the EHLO command must be constructed before the connection is
+made it cannot depend on the interface IP address that will be used.
+Transport configurations should be checked for this. An example avoidance:
+
+ helo_data = ${if def:sending_ip_address \
+ {${lookup dnsdb{>! ptr=$sending_ip_address} \
+ {${sg{$value} {^([^!]*).*\$} {\$1}}} fail}} \
+ {$primary_hostname}}
