Hi Alexander!  I'm trying to help with this bug.  Can you still
reproduce the problem with TheBat?  With which versions of exim/gnutls?
You reported the problem in 2005/2006, so things may have changed...

You said earlier versions of exim worked, can you pin-point which
version it worked and which it stopped working in?  Can you reproduce
that it works?

To debug this, it would help if you could run gnutls-serv or openssl
s_client on a host, and try to talk to it using TheBat.  Try:

$ gnutls-serv --port 465 --x509keyfile KEY.pem --x509certfile CERT.pem --debug

Also, if you are able to re-build exim4 with openssl, testing that
configuration together with TheBat would also be useful.

Can you reproduce this using a recent version of TheBat?  I see that it
is possible to download TheBat and use it for free for 30 days, so if
you can confirm that this happens with the latest version of TheBat and
exim4+gnutls I can download it and try to debug this problem myself.

Thanks,
/Simon
