But was is the DEFAULT ?

Is it the output of "openssl ciphers" ?

if so, i don't see any ellipticbased ciphers there, but at least they
use DHE, which indicates PFS is used, which is good.

Next question, out of curiosity :

are there any statistics about the usage of ciphers in exim mailservers ?

( google returns only the exim specs as result for "statistics about
exim cipher usage" )
