Hi,

I am having a problem with your port references. It would be more
helpful if you'd not only reference the port number (which is most
probably irrelevant for debugging), but also the protocol you're
using. I feel that we are mixing up plain unencrypted SMTP (which
usually runs on ports tcp/25 and/or tcp/587), the ESMTP STARTTLS
extension (which also runs on ports tcp/25 and/or tcp/587 and is
negotiated in a clear text handshake involving the EHLO and STARTTLS
commands), and the non-standardized "SMTP over SSL" protocol which
microsoft and other sites use on port tcp/465.
I believe that I am using ESMTP STARTTLS.
If Exim can use whatever qpopper is using for the SSL setup, then
that would probably solve the problem.
qpopper is using OpenSSL, which I'd like to avoid for exim since exim
links to a gazillion of other libraries and I'd rather not have to
check all their licenses for an OpenSSL exception. Additionally, Simon
is member of the GnuTLS team and surely would not want to advocate
changing to a competitor.
I understand, but it _seems_ that OpenSSL works whilst GnuTLS doesn't....
but I can't be sure as I probably don't understand enough to properly debug
the issue amongst other things I need to do.
Is there a good step by step process that I could follow to help this cause?
Would a copy (privately) of my /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated help?
Kind Regards
