Bug#310771: Today's exim4 update broke TLS configuration

[Marc Haber]

retitle #310771 4.50-6 unclear TLS docs
thanks

Please state in which way TLS is broken now. In my opinion, this is a
documentation issue.

Can you please check whether you might have filed a duplicate to
#305443?

That has probably been fixed in the current README.Debian. Can you
please verify with the current svn version, 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-exim4/exim/trunk/debian/README.Debian?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

changelog.Debian.gz:

Again, please cross-check with #305443.
