I cannot reproduce this problem. I have been using exim-4.87 since May and it delivers local mail with no problems. I have searched (case-insensitively) Local/Makefile in the exim build directory for all instances of "tls" and they are all commented out, so I conclude I have not asked for TLS support. My /etc/exim.conf file contains 3 instances of "control = dkim_disable_verify", yet this does not cause any problems. Running "/usr/sbin/exim -bV" (which, according to the docs, syntax checks the configuration file) also reports no problems. There is clearly something going on that we do not understand. Either I have missed something or the problem is not as you have reported it. We should resolve this before changing the book.
