You mean the passing reference to "global STARTTLS and SMTP AUTH 
whitelisting" under the WHITELIST Section?  I can't find any other 
reference to STARTTLS.

       auth   This  is  used  to select a user that succeeded SMTP 
AUTH. In order to select any user that succeeds SMTP AUTH, you can 
use a regular expression  matching, like below;

                racl whitelist auth /.*/

              Using  such  a  clause  automatically  disable  global 
STARTTLS and SMTP AUTH whitelisting, like if the noauth keyword 
would have been used.

       tls    This is used to select the distinguished name (DN) of 
a user  that  succeeded STARTTLS.  Using such a clause automatically 
disable global STARTTLS and SMTP AUTH whitelisting, like if the 
noauth keyword would have been used.

The COMMAND-LINE FLAG EQUIVALENTS Section tells me how to turn off 
the global SMTP AUTH whitelisting.

       noauth Greylist clients regardless if they succeeded SMTP 
AUTH. Equivalent to the -A flag.

How do I turn of the global STARTTLS whitelisting?
