Thanks Phil,
I had just solved this myself and went to reply to my own thread to
see you had solved it for me... but yes you are correct...there is a
carriage return newline in the certificate and I noticed when I sent an
email to the remote user to explain the fault that exim logged the
following outgoing
alan.maceneaney@??? <Alan.MacEneaney@???>
R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=mail.canadalife.ie [195.95.190.16]
X=TLS1.0:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32
DN="C=IE,2.5.4.17=#1309436f2e4475626c696e,ST=Dublin,L=Dublin,STREET=Blackrock,STREET=\r\n,STREET=Canada
Life House\, Temple Road,O=CANADA LIFE GROUP SERVICES
LIMITED,OU=IS,OU=Hosted by Canada Life (UK) Ltd.,OU=PremiumSSL
Wildcard,CN=*.canadalife.ie"

and I assume the problem is coming from the \r\n (Carriage Return
NewLine) which is in their generated certificate.
Is the use of the \r\n in the certificate name illegal or should exim be
able to deal with it... I am running Exim version 4.72 from Debian
Squeeze distribution.
