Damn, I had used apt-cache to try to find just such a thing! Does exim-tls use the old exim.conf? I installed tls, I expected it to run eximconfig and maybe ask some questions about the ssl part. However it just installed the files and restarted exim(-tls). /etc/exim/exim.conf is the same file I edited originally, but now exim-tls will not authenticate. Does exim-tls use port 465 for the ssmtp connections? I port scanned my box and nothing is running on that port, so at this point neither ssl nor authentication is currently working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
