TLS/SSL client credentials support?

Hello,

this one should be a fun one for Simon, as it's a "local" issue. ;)

When debugging a problem with downloads of large emails with 
Hidemaru mail (from the same guy that wrote the Hidemaru editor),
I've learned about something that I wasn't aware of. According to
the author of Hidemaru mail having "Client Credentials" enabled
in their client breaks the connection immediately, same thing for
the infamous Becky!. Both are using probably the same public M$
SSL code examples one ventures. 

Here is an example with Credentials on:
---
I サーバーを検索中 - popmail.gol.com
I 接続中 - 203.216.5.113
I 接続完了
R +OK POP3 Ready pp12 0001f653
S STLS
R +OK Begin TLS negotiation, mate
I SSL初期化中
E ホストからのデータ受信に失敗しました。エラーコード=10054
  (Error in receiving data from host)
---
Googling for that error code gives us for example:
http://glwebmail.gordano.com/kb.htm?q=275
So it's perdition hanging up after being so rudely presented with
unwanted credentials. ^_-
The respective entry in the logs here is:
---
Feb  5 10:59:05 pp12 perdition[25716]: Fatal error establishing TLS connection
---

No biggie, as this feature can be turned off on the clients of course.

I'm just wondering if it's missing code on the perdition side or if
this could be fixed with some SSL config magic. Though the settings
that I would expect to have an influence on this are all stating that
they are only dealing with outgoing connections to the real-servers.

Regards,

Christian
