Autor: James P. Roberts Datum: To: exim-users Betreff: [Exim] Exim 4.02 TLS support
Dear Group:
I have recently downloaded Exim 4.02 to my Redhat 7.1 server. I followed all
the directions, etc. I compiled it with TLS support, and saw no errors during
the compile. It appears to work fine, until I ask my Outlook Express 6.0 client
to use TLS... See Outlook Express log:
OK, and now for the interesting part... I launched the Exim daemon with -d
(debug) option, and for the same session, got the following log:

I draw attention to the fact that Outlook Express thinks it sent a "STARTTLS"
command, but Exim does not think it got one. OE thinks it receives a "500
Unsupported command" but Exim does not report sending it.
Anybody have any ideas? Even a hint for a direction to start looking for a
solution?
I tried telnet to port 25 of the server (puns01.punsterproductions.com), from a
DOS window, and got the same response to EHLO, and the same "500 Unsupported
command" in response to typing in STARTTLS. Exim still did not report sending
this 500 message. Oddly, I distinctly remember getting a proper response from
the server, in such a telnet session, in the wee hours this morning (or last
night, depending on one's definitions). Of course, I was unable to manually
negotiate a TLS session, and the attempt timed out. I have killed and
re-launched the server a few times since then, so it seems unlikely to be a
"stale" TLS connection. The only change to the config file, since last night,
was to add "tls_advertise_hosts = *". (Without this, OE quits without sending
STARTTLS.)
And yes, I compiled with TLS support, and I have my self-signed certificate, key
and Diffie-Helman parameter files set up, readable by Exim user, and specified
in my /etc/exim.conf file. I get no errors when launching, nor when simply
testing the config with "exim -bV."
I am confused as all get-out as to why the client and server logs do not match.
