Hi Alexander,

I think we have identified the problem -- TheBat doesn't handle
certificate request messages properly.  To work around this problem, you
can add "MAIN_TLS_TRY_VERIFY_HOSTS=" in the exim configuration.

It would be helpful if you could test this and confirm whether it works
or not.

This bug is quite similar to #459323, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459323

That bug is closed to being closed, and documenting the workaround
should fix this bug as well.

Btw, in message #104 I incorrectly thought gnutls-serv
--disable-client-cert had problems, but it was just my incorrect usage:
gnutls-serv doesn't read for input on stdin, so it was not strange that
TheBat didn't try to send any e-mail.

/Simon
