Well, here is how far I am currently on getting tls setup:
The relevate lines from my exim.conf:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
# open relay for authorized hosts
host_auth_accept_relay = *

# only allow auth over encrypted connections
auth_over_tls_hosts = *

# I prefere to display as little information as possible
auth_always_advertise = false

# I use this certificate also for cyrus.
# This certificate is signed with a CA certificate I created myself.
tls_certificate = /usr/local/ssl-certs/cert.pem
tls_privatekey = /usr/local/ssl-certs/key.pem
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I try to test this setup:

host:~# exim -bh some.foreign.ip.num

**** SMTP testing session as if from host some.foreign.ip.num
**** Not for real!

>>> host in host_lookup? yes (*)
>>> looking up host name for some.foreign.ip.num
>>> IP address lookup yielded some.foreign.hostname
>>> host in host_reject? no (option unset)
>>> host in host_reject_recipients? no (option unset)
>>> host in auth_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in auth_over_tls_hosts? yes (*)
>>> host in tls_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in sender_unqualified_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in receiver_unqualified_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in helo_verify? no (option unset)
>>> host in helo_accept_junk_hosts? no (option unset)
220 gate.home-in-the.net ESMTP Exim 3.35 #1 Thu, 07 Nov 2002 09:48:26
>>> +0100
AUTH PLAINTEXT

STARTTLS
>>> host in tls_verify_hosts? no (option unset)
220 OpenSSL/0.9.6beta go ahead

I don't know how to do a tls handshake by hand so I Ctrl-C out.
Seems ok to me.
Mozilla complains 'unable to connect to SMTP Server. The
Server might be misconfigured or down'. If Mozilla tries to use smtps
this makes sense since I believe I only have exim listening on port 25.

Mulberry, configured to use STARTTLS - TLSv1 or STARTTLS - SSLv3  says
'String not found'.
Could somebody give me a hint what the problem could be, or how to
continue debugging?

Thanks in advance!
