[Pkg-exim4-users] using TLS/SSL with exim4 under debian

[Jeremiah Foster]

reetings,

I am trying to set up exim4 on debian to use TLS/SSL. But I cannot 
connect to my server, which works otherwise. I followed this 
documentation which is on my debian system with documents relating to 
exim4;

"How to enable TLS support for exim as server
------
You should have created certificates in /etc/exim4/ either by hand
or by usage of the exim-gencert (which requires openssl).
exim-gencert is shipped in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/ and
takes care of proper access privileges on the private key file."

=> I used exim-gencert which produced exim.crt and exim.key

"Now, enable TLS by setting the macro MAIN_TLS_ENABLE in a local
configuration file (documented below)."

=> This is where I am having problems. By "setting the macro" what do 
you mean? And which local configuration file? There are quite a few. 
The template file? The conf.conf file? Or under the conf.d directory?

"It might be appropriate to add "+tls_cipher +tls_peerdn" to any
log_selector statement you might already have, or to add a
log_selector statement setting these two options in a local
configuration file. These options have exim log what cipher your exim
and the peer's mailer have negotiated to use to encrypt the
transaction, and they have exim log the Distinguished Name of the
peer's certificate."

This is greek to me. What are log_selector statements?

Thanks for any help.
