Hello,

just to add another piece of the puzzle: Last time I checked
exim/openssl and exim/gnutls had a major difference in behavior with
respect to tls_(try)verify_certificates: exim/GnuTLS would send the
list of acceptable TLS certificates in the SSL handshake. If the list
is long enough, this breaks interconnectivity.

I do not know whether the code has changed since, though.
