Yeah, pretty known incompatibility between the gnutls-based SSL
implementation and several clients.

Recompile exim to use OpenSSL and the problem will go away. But be sure
to _not_ redistribute the resulting packages, as this would violate the
GPL. Local use is fine though.

The Debian/Ubuntu packages are prepared to be recompiled. Just edit
"debian/rules", find the commented "OpenSSL:=1" line, activate it,
rebuild, done.

Grüße,
Sven.
