In fact, Raymond said Ubuntu 12.0.4 and I quoted that.

But Exim can come from normal package repos, backport repos, and since
Baruwa was mentioned and they provide a repo but I can't see what's in
that repo (without installing a Deb system and adding them as a source)
I don't know if a different Exim is in there.

I did try a quick Google search to find which version of Exim is
included with Ubuntu by default, but there were no relevant results
within a minute of searching, so I gave up: when asking for help from
others, it's not long-term beneficial to reward missing information by
doing a lot of work for free to make up for it.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/mail/exim4

By _default_, security updates for 12.0.4 will supply 4.76-3ubuntu3.1;
_if_ that version is the one in use, then the old-style Exim-specific
GnuTLS configuration directives are in use.

The old docs included, as an *example* of how to use those directives,
this:

tls_require_ciphers = !ARCFOUR

If you do that, then yes, Google won't deliver to you over TLS.

Google use RC4-SHA, which OpenSSL calls SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, which
might help with determining if gnutls_require_kx or the like is set
badly.

The Exim web-site has copies of the Specification for many old versions
of Exim, so more details can be found at:
