Hmm. I wonder if that is something to do with different GnuTLS versions?
I am using GnuTLS 1.2.3.

Well no. It doesn't make sense to call the test script with -t. I
guessed that you had used -t instead of -d by mistake when I looked at
this, so I then ignored it. (The Exim option -t means "accept a message,
taking the envelope recipients from the To: and Cc: header lines".) And
neither "-t <num>" nor "-d <num>" are valid options sequences for Exim.
I should probably document what options are sensible to use; perhaps
only -d actually makes sense.

Why doesn't everybody run things the way I want them to? <grin>
