Yeah, the size for a real certificate will likely be much larger.  That
was a short test certificate.

Excellent, thank you.  Could you also cut'n'paste your current exim
(MAIN_TLS_*) configuration?

Which exim version are you using?  Still 4.63-17?  It would help if you
could post a short snippet of an updated error message, with the new
filenames and so on.

When do the problem actually happen?  Does it happen on all TLS
sessions, or just some?
