The use of SMTPS is rather standard these days - (thunderbird, k9
outlook etc.. ) all support this.

Without openSSL one can't have a smart-host transport with: driver =  smtps

Hello,

 From where did you get that idea? I cannot find any reference in the
specification about "protocol = smtps" being openssl-only.

Thanks ..

Turns out I was following an incorrect example --

They had
driver = smtps

Should be

driver = smtp
 protocol = smtps








A breadcrum for others: According to exim.org docs one must recompile
and change USE_OPENSSL=yes in Local/Makefile to USE_GNUTLS=yes

It could be there needs to be two packages - exim4-gnutl and exim4-openssl

At the very least the README.Debian should start out with which
version it is.

What info are you missing?

ametzler@argenau:~$ dpkg -s exim4-daemon-light
Package: exim4-daemon-light
[...]
  and includes support for TLS encryption
[...]

file:///usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.html#TLS
  Both exim4-daemon-heavy and exim4-daemon-light support TLS/SSL using the 
GnuTLS library and STARTTLS.
