Rather than use a self-signed certificate, why not use LetsEncrypt.org to get a free domain bound certificate with widespread trust anchors?

They’ve expressed an interest in getting an Exim plugin to assist with creation and deployment of certificates. The plugins help prove domain ownership and then install the certificate.
