Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.96-15+deb12u10
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Intended use of file exim4.conf.localmacros without macros beeing found in config.autogenerated and of course without any effect
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = 1
MAIN_TLS_CERTIFICATE = &lt;/my/path/file.crt&gt;
MAIN_TLS_PRIVATEKEY = &lt;/my/path/file.key&gt;
with the files in question 640/root:Debian-exim)
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Mailclients complaining newly every day about a certificate 
subject=C = UK, O = Exim Developers, CN = &lt;hostname&gt;
issuer=C = UK, O = Exim Developers, CN = &lt;hostname&gt;
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Having the option to accept my self signed certificate once for ever

Files below /etc/exim4/conf.d do nowhere have a statement
.include_if_exists-statement  /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros
and command exim4 -bP tls_certificate prints &quot;tls_certificate =&quot;
