Subject: Re: [Exim] New TLS testing version
I've successfully sent mail over SSL/TLS between two test servers,
both running exim 3.164 and openssl 0.9.5a. Clients used were Netscape
4.75 and Outlook 2000.

Here's an excerpt of the headers from sending a message through Outlook 2000
to server #1 which forwarded on through a couple of systems running sendmail:

Received: from zeus.dmacc.cc.ia.us (zeus.dmacc.cc.ia.us [161.210.216.101])

Here's an excerpt of the headers from sending a message from Netscape 4.75
to server #1 which relayed to server #2:

I plan on doing some more testing next week with openssl 0.9.6.
