I'm not saying I don't believe anyone, hell, it's obviously not working
for me that's why I'm here... I'm just telling you what I read ... looks
like it wasn't in the manual, but in a README that came with my
distribution (Debian)... and maybe I'm just misunderstanding it? I'm at
the point now where I can no longer tell which way is up.
exim4 as TLS/SSL client
------
Both exim4-daemon-heavy and exim4-daemon-light support TLS/SSL using the
GnuTLS library and exim will use TLS *automatically* as client if the
server exim connects to offers it. You can stop reading now if you are
not setting up a mailserver which needs to offer TLS for incoming
connections.
