Hi,

there is an incompatibility of GnuTLS with a client TLS library which seems to
be common in mobile applications like phones. This can be worked around by
forbidding SHA-1 as MAC. Unfortunately, to do this in exim, one needs to modify
the source code.

Please consider making the GnuTLS code more configurable by allowing to select
MAC and other parameters at run time.

Greetings
Marc
