I've got exim4 working on my Debian 3.1 Linode for my personal email

tls_advertise_hosts = *
tls_on_connect_ports = 465
tls_certificate = /etc/exim4/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/exim4/exim.key
The key and crt are your standard files created by openssl.
If you're using the split config, put those in
conf.d/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions.
Corey,
Thanks for the tip. I had done this previously, but to no avail.
Here are the relevant portions of my config:
log_selector = +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn
tls_advertise_hosts = *
tls_certificate = /etc/exim/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/exim/exim.key
The private key and cert files are present (generated by
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert) and readable by the
Debian-exim group.
Here's my symptom from the client. I've configured thunderbird to use my
mail server for SMTP, but to require TLS when sending. When I send an
email, Thunderbird is able to connect, but then spews a generic error
popup message about how the SMTP server may be down.
When I configure Thunderbird to NOT use TLS, all is well, but that sucks.
Any more ideas? How do I tell exim4 to enable verbose logging so I can
see what's really going on?
