[Pkg-exim4-users] Using a smarthost with tls

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Hi,

I have a system with exim (from squeeze) configured to use an smarthost to 
send message. We are having some troubles and the ISP have asked us to use tls 
in the communications.

I have enabled the tls, but I have not be able to send any message using tls. 
Executing exim in a console and sending a message I got this:

[.....]

a TLS session is required for smtp.xxxxxx.net [xx.xx.209.32], but an attempt 
to start TLS failed
LOG: MAIN
  == leo at alaxarxa.net R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-38): a TLS 
session is required for smtp.xxxxxx.net [xx.xx.209.32], but an attempt to 
start TLS failed

I have be able to make a tls session with the server using:

openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect smtp.xxxxxx.net:25

the server has a self signed certificate and no CA.

Any idea what is going wrong?

Regards,

Leo
