Simon,

I see you managed to run The Bat under Wine and reproduce the issue - 
that's good, cause I disabled my mail system since that bug report 
already, and trying to reproduce the issue will require a lot of efforts 
to make it running again. Sorry for that.

But as far as I remember the issue, I did established the trust with my 
own self-signed certificate (used on the mail server) in The Bat before 
the issue. And everything worked successfully, until the new version of 
Exim was released. If I reported it by 4.50 version, it is most likely 
that the last working version was something reeeally old. I can't 
already find the exact Debian snapshot used to setup the system, but I 
think the working version was something about 4.33 or 4.34.
