Temat: [exim] Exim 4.87 reports no server certificate but appears to work?
Anyone else seeing this with Exim 4.87?

     Warning: No server certificate defined; TLS connections will fail.


during "make install" and in panic log, while having a self-signed
certificate defined (same config as Exim-4.86) and yet TLS appears to work?


During "make install":

>>> exim binary built

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mike/exim-4.87/build-Linux-i386'
Installation directory is /usr/local/bin

2016-04-07 00:16:35 Warning: No server certificate defined; TLS

tls_advertise_hosts option
cp exim /usr/local/bin/exim-4.87-3
/bin/chown root /usr/local/bin/exim-4.87-3
...


During start-up:

root@relay1:~/exim-4.87# service exim start

Warning: Exim paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken

Excerpt from my /etc/exim/exim.conf:

#
# Enable TLS with strong ciphers
#
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true

openssl_options = -all +no_sslv2 +no_sslv3 +no_compression
+cipher_server_preference

tls_certificate = /etc/exim/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/exim/exim.key
tls_dhparam = /etc/exim/exim.dhparam
tls_advertise_hosts = *

# Preference: all the EC and GCM first then degrade gracefully
tls_require_ciphers =
kEECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:RSA+AESGCM:ECDH+AES:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!MD5:!DSS

# advertise auth to TLS sessions only
auth_advertise_hosts = ${if eq {$tls_in_cipher}{}{}{*}}


The config points to a self-signed RSA-2048 bit key and cert that work
under Exim-4.86




During run-time mainlog entries showing TLS:
