Assumpte: [Exim] TLS errors from remote host
Hello,

First, I want to say Philip, you've really done a fantastic job with
the Exim book. Most O'Reilly books are quite good but this is one of
the best for usefulness, clarity and readability. Thanks!

Okay, there's a host that one of my customers has mailed before and now
all her mails are being rejected. I had a look at some exim -d9 -qff
output and here's some of it:


delivering 15SLJN-00052U-00 to mail.icehouse.net [204.203.53.2] 
(jjustice@???)
set_process_info: 31293 delivering 15SLJN-00052U-00 to

Okay, although I built in TLS support for exim and have generated a
key, I've not set anything up for TLS on our side; nothing is being
advertised or broadcast.

I don't see this error from any other host and just want to be clear on
what's going on here: is icehouse.net insisting on TLS to complete the
delivery or is my server doing something I didn't think I was telling
it to do?

Thanks again,
Todd
