Hi folks,

I expect I'm being a clueless n00b, but here goes.

I've been using exim to send mail for years. The feature I need most is
the ability to route outgoing mail to *@myemployer.com through one SMTP
server and everything else through another.

I recently upgraded my Mac box to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and for
reasons I can't begin to fathom, exim won't build under macports:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/21369

No worries, I thought, I'll just build the thing from sources myself.
A little hacking and I had Exim 4.66 installed (with auth and gnu-tls
support). It almost works.

When I send mail to *@myemployer.com, it goes through the correct SMTP
server and everything is fine. Everything else is supposed to go
through mailhop, but that requires TLS. TLS, not working so much:

$ exim -v -M KPZ5VO-00009N-IG 
delivering KPZ5VO-00009N-IG
R: mailhop for ndw@???
T: remote_smtp_smarthost for ndw@???

Someone please hit me with a clue-by-four?
