Just for the interest, Exim 4.12 smtp server with self-signed private and server (read public) keys works perfectly well with Evo 1.2.1 and always has done since Evo 1.0.5. When I first tried it. The only thing is, at the very first connect the user gets asked about accepting a suspect certificate, to which he acquiesces, and after that, Bob's your uncle. OTOH Evo with WU Imapd 2002a and ldap - no way do they work with SSL/TLS, whilst Imp and Mozilla 1.1 work perfectly well.
