[nos-bbs] EHLO missing, openVPN on Android, email with JNOS

[Sky]

Just a year ago, I had locally added EHLO here and made it equivalent to
HELO. Your JNOS code did not accept EHLO prior to that. WIth that one
change, JNOS can talk to a modern email client.

I use *Claws Mail* on my Raspbian system (Pi3 and Pi4) and it uses SMTP
and POP3 to talk to JNOS. Works like a charm. It required EHLO, but
beyond that it uses only basic commands and can talk to JNOS just fine.

(I also have the additional use-case of a bunch of Python scripts that
run every minute or two and bridge JNOS to internet email and some other
services. The Python mail packages also prefer to use EHLO.)
