Damn, I had used apt-cache to try to find just such a thing! Does
exim-tls use the old exim.conf? I installed tls, I expected it to run
eximconfig and maybe ask some questions about the ssl part. However it
just installed the files and restarted exim(-tls). /etc/exim/exim.conf
is the same file I edited originally, but now exim-tls will not
authenticate.
Does exim-tls use port 465 for the ssmtp connections? I port scanned my
box and nothing is running on that port, so at this point neither ssl
nor authentication is currently working.
