Only in the tls_verify_certificates entry in the alphabetical list of main
options. There is nothing about this in chapter 37 "Encrypted SMTP
connections using TLS/SSL".

37.3 "Requesting and verifying client certificates" says "These must be
available in a file or directory that is identified by
tls_verify_certificates." and later on talks about "the collection named by
tls_verify_certificates."

37.4 "Configuring an Exim client to use TLS" says "If
tls_verify_certificates is set, it must name a file or directory that
contains a collection of expected certificates."
