As far as I know, this will use SMTP over SSL. How does your exim reply when you telnet to localhost 465? Does it show a clear text SMTP banner? > Install Incredimail [custom without extras checked], it should automatically > take the settings from the Outlook Express setup. > > > Now when sending an email using Incredimail, you get this popup: > "Failed to connect the outgoing server: 'outgoing server name' > Please try again later." > > Clicking on "Details" gives this information: > "SocketError: -2146885628 , Port: 465, Protocol: SMTP.Cannot find object or > property." > > On the Debian mail server, you see the following in the > /var/log/exim4/mainlog file: > "TLS error on connection from [ip.ad.dr.ess] (gnutls_handshake): A TLS > packet with unexpected length was received." Please let's find out whether Incredimail does really really use SMTP over SSL. On your exim server, run $ echo "220 " | socat TCP4-LISTEN:4465 - and configure incredimail to use "Outgoing 4465 with SSL". Then try sending a message. When you see a cleartext "EHLO something" on the socat shell, Incredimail is trying to do ESMTP STARTTLS, which will need a differently configured exim than Outlook Express does. If you don't see a cleartext "EHLO something", please retry with openssl s_server instead of the socat.
